McNair’s biggest critique his entire football career was that he’s undersized. It’s why he played at Alcorn St. There’s not a single metric in football that would lend any credibility to Steve McNair or Malik Willis being “big” quarterbacks.

He gained nearly 6,000 yards that season of combined rushing and passing, 53 touchdowns, broke over a dozen records, named an All-American, won the Walter Payton award and placed third in the Heisman Trophy voting. He also set career records for the Football Championship Series with 14,496 passing yards, and 16,283 overall yards, both of which still stand. McNair was the 3rd pick in the draft.

His Legacy

Steve McNair was unarguably, one of the greatest athletes of all time. He became only the fifth player in NFL history to pass for 20,000 yards, and rush for 3,000. He was also known as one of the toughest players of all time. He had surgeries on his toe, ankle, knee, back, chest, hip, and twice on his shoulder, and was named the third toughest athlete in sports in 2004 by USA Today. His countless records are only the physical sports aspect of what he left behind. The rest is his historic legacy.

Sure reads like he had good arm strength and mobility reading this.

Thanks. He was too undersized to play qb at a big school. That’s why he chose Alcorn St. fwiw, he was offered RB at Florida

For Steve McNair, it was was all about 2003. Despite being sidelined for two games due to a calf and ankle injury in December, the 2003 season was one of the most prolific in McNair's career. Steve passed for 24 touchdowns, maintained a 100.4 quarterback rating, finished the season 12-4, was named Co-MVP with Peyton Manning, and was named All-Pro.

He was flawed, a common trait.

Exactly. My dad taught me early not to look at sports stars as heroes. Jordan was flawed, Rickey Henderson was obviously flawed, Andre Agassi was flawed, Dale Earnhardt was flawed, Jamal Lewis was flawed. But I loved watching them all perform. Bo Jackson was probably flawed somehow, but you’ll never convince me. I guess it was weird with Mcnair not learning about it until well after the fact.

I chose to block that from my memory of him. Sad though.
