Former Homeless Man Ted Williams could be new voice of NFL Films

Yes... It's easy for anyone that tries to make it in this country. Oh wait, this guy sat on the street, some guy recorded his voice and it became viral, and he got a job.

Good story, but lets not act like this guy is a success story. He got lucky. Best of luck to him, but it's not like he pulled himself up by his bootstraps.
self-edited before going politically insane.

that's a great video, he does have a gift.
Also, the owners may have found a new way to cut some labor costs!

More proof that anyone can make it in this country. And barring mental or physical disaster, if you haven't made it, it's your own damn fault.

Your right on!!! And if he screws up his 2nd chance there will many more chances down the road!!!

nice story. i do voice overs in my line of works here and there and he sure sounds a hell of a lot better than I do.

Yeah the guy got a lucky break but there are a lot of great success stories based on an initial lucky break.

Go kick your puppies elsewhere.

This is more of 2nd chance for him, as Ted Williams was trained in radio and journalism since he was 14. Another article told his life story. He went to college, worked in Radio and doing voice overs as a career, but his life was derailed by drug addiction and alcoholism, and he lost his way entirely, becoming homeless when he was about 55 years old.

One Article says Ted can't quite remember how long he had been on the streets, but based on events he described from when he was still in radio, the author guessed that he had been homeless about 15 years.

Hope he makes the most of his second chance to get back on the air.
