A Word on Steve McNair

A lot has been written and said over the past few days about the tragic death of Steve McNair. I'll add simply that he was, potentially, a trendsetter: there was such controversy when he was drafted so highly out of a D1A school, and a historically black college as well. Yet McNair ultimately proved that he was worth such a high pick, as his career overall was stellar. He won't go down as one of the best quarterbacks in history, but he certainly had many on-field accomplishments to be proud of, and by all accounts was a leader and a winner who made his teams better.
