The 36-year-old Steve McNair, known as “Air” McNair in a 13-season NFL career that ended with his retirement in April of last year, was a former quarterback for the Nashville-based Tennessee Titans.

Steve McNair began his NFL career in 1995 with the Houston Oilers, who eventually became the Titans, and finished with 31,304 yards passing and 174 touchdowns. Steve McNair played with pain for several years, and the injuries ultimately forced him to retire.

Steve McNair, a four-time Pro Bowler, led the Titans within a yard of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl, which they lost 23-16 to the St. Louis Rams. Steve McNair also played for the Baltimore Ravens before retiring in April 2008.

Steve McNair accounted for all of Tennessee’s yards in that drive, throwing for 48 yards and rushing for 14. The rest of the yardage came on penalties against the Rams. Before that, he brought the Titans back from a 16-0 deficit to tie the game.
