Air McNair

I grew up an Oilers fan...

and I followed them to Nashville. Go Titans!

So of course, one of my all time favorite NFL Quarterbacks is Steve McNair.

He was the 3rd overall pick in the 1995 draft, going to the Houston Oilers out of Alcorn State.

3 time Pro Bowler, and 2003 NFL Co-MVP along with Peyton Manning.

At 36 years old, you're gone way too soon. I thank you for the 10 years you gave this Oilers/Titans fan. Your legacy will not be forgotten by me. Your perseverance on the field, your will to compete... You have paved the way for other black young men, showing them it's possible for them to be a successful NFL quarterback.

Steve, may you rest in peace.
