More McNair

General CFB — 06 July 2009

Nice, informative post over at Prolate Spheroid on Steve McNair.  Gives a great rundown of his life and playing history.

How could Heisman voters ignore him? Junior running back Rashaan Salaam of Colorado, one of only a handful of elite college backs to rush for 2,000 yards in a season, won the award. But McNair gained 655 voting points and polled third. For a small-town quarterback at an unfancied, tiny land-grant school in an unfancied state, third place practically is winning the Heisman.

Check it out.

    HP, could the heisman curse apply to an entire class and not just the winner? If so is there a more tragic heisman class than 1994 (when you consider an untimely death, career ending football injuries, drug and alcohol abuse, and of course, L. Philips.)?
