During his football career, Aeneas Williams earned a reputation as a quiet leader who professed a deep Christian faith. Behind the eight Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl loss was a man often sought out in the locker room to help put things in perspective.
Now, the 40-year-old Williams leads a small start-up church that meets in rented space at a hotel in suburban St. Louis, where he weaves lessons from life and football into his sermons.
With football in its most important time ”” the college bowl season is over and the Super Bowl is looming ”” the strong evangelical faith of high-profile players and coaches has been getting attention.
Thanks for alerting me to this. Aeneas Williams was an Arizona Cardinal for many years but didn’t play in a Super Bowl until he was acquired by the Rams. I had no idea he decided to stick around town.
