NFL Network to Profile Alcorn State Legend Steve McNair
Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Alcorn State University, Mississippi, Sports
The NFL Network will profile Alcorn State University football legend and former NFL quarterback Steve McNair tomorrow on its “A Football Life” series.
The documentary will highlight McNair’s journey from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, to the third overall pick of the Houston Oilers in 1995 and his stellar career thereafter. McNair was killed in 2009, but in black college football circles, he may be the last iconic HBCU athlete to be drafted high and to fashion a long career in the professional ranks.
