By Ryan Gamble
Ricky Williams is a member of the Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 cast. He joins 11 other celebrities who will be competing to win $250,000 this winter.
The Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 cast has a lot of athletes and Ricky Williams is one of them. Instead of having regular houseguests in the game, like the producers did this past summer, 12 celebrities are playing the game this winter. It is the second time that celebrities have been invited to play the U.S. version of the game, with Marissa Jaret Winokur winning the winter 2018 installment. It was a success and CBS is doing it again.
Who is Ricky Williams on Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 cast?
College football and NFL fans know Ricky Williams very well. He was a star running back at the University of Texas and became a first-round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints. Mike Ditka became the coach of the Saints and orchestrated a deal that sent eight draft picks to the Washington Redkins for the fifth overall selection. The Saints then picked Williams.

During his NFL career, Williams rushed for over 10,000 yards during his time with the Saints, Miami Dolphins, and the Baltimore Ravens. He led the league in rushing yards one season and also made the Pro Bowl that year. In 2015, he was even inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. His career had some bumps along the way, including marijuana use and injuries.
The rest of the Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 cast
There are a total of 12 celebrities competing to potentially become the 2019 Celebrity Big Brother winner. Olympic athletes Lolo Jones and Ryan Lochte are also inside the BB house. The trio will try to last longer than celebrities like Joey Lawrence, Tamar Braxton, and Jonathan Bennett. The winner for the season will take home $250,000 if the CBB2 jury picks them during the finale.
