Steve McNair

In the late 90’s Steve McNair was my favorite quarterback because of his toughness and his ability to make the big play. I also respected the fact that although he went to Alcorn State, a school in Division II, he made the best of his opportunity and not only made it to the NFL but shared a piece of the MVP trophy. The nature of his death, being shot twice in the head and twice in the chest, was a total shock because he was never known as a troublemaker on or off the field. He had a legitimate reputation of being a man committed to his family and community. I won’t speculate or pass judgment on the facts surrounding his death, but I will say that his family and supporters are in my thoughts and prayers.
