Caleb Williams Is the NFL’s Best QB Right Now

Matt and Phil Simms welcome former Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart, who is promoting his HBO documentary Kordell Stewart / Slash & Burn, now streaming on HBO Max. Kordell tells how he went from fourth-string rookie QB to “Slash” by running scout-team routes. That led to one of the NFL’s first five-receiver sets and a run to Super Bowl XXX. He’s candid about the one time he got frustrated: being moved back to receiver under Kevin Gilbride after he had led Pittsburgh to an AFC Championship Game. He also explains how Mike Mularkey’s arrival restored his trust. Phil and Kordell relive the “Slash” era from the broadcast booth, including the Hail Mary against Jim Harbaugh’s Colts, and Kordell argues his style would be worth millions in today’s NFL. He also reveals that “SLASH” stands for the five principles he now teaches kids: Sacrifice, Leadership, Adaptability, Standard and Honor. He describes the documentary as finally taking “the weight of the world” off his shoulders. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
