Former Texas Longhorn and NFL star Ricky Williams has a checkered past with marijuana throughout his football career — leading to multiple suspensions and a brief retirement — but now he's going to make money off of it.

Williams, 39, has backed Power Plant Fitness, a weed-friendly gym scheduled to open this fall in San Francisco, according to a news release, via mysanantonio.com. Williams is a partner and spokesperson for the gym that was founded by Jim McAlpine, who is also the co-founder of the 420 Games, a series of running events developed to destigmatize cannabis.
