Former Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins Wide Receiver Antwaan Randle El, the only WR ever to throw a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl actually, gave a speech tonight at an Indiana University booster/alumni event. It was a private event held at Joe’s on Weed Street in Chicago.
At the event, I had an exclusive with Antwaan Randle El, where we talked Washington football team, the name change debate, and previewed the upcoming NFL season for both of Randle El’s former teams.
Have a listen:
Randle El is the only WR ever to throw a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl.Randle El was also named fifth in USA Today’s All-Decade kick returners. Randle El has a career passer rating of 156.1, the highest of any player with more than twenty completed passes.Like he said, the ‘Skins always make headlines every offseason. There’s always talk about the franchise in D.C. Daniel Snyder likes to spend big, and more often than not, it doesn’t work out. Anyways, we’ll see how they do in the NFC East this year.
I believe this might be the first time I actually interviewed a former NFL player who I actually played against when I was in high school. So that was pretty interesting in and of itself. Be sure to check out this speech Randle El gave at the IU event. It’s got a funny joke about how white Indiana University is, and some great inspirational messages.
