What's the Deal with Danny

McNair was born in a small tin-roofed house in Mount Olive, Mississippi on February 14, 1973. He attended Mount Olive High School as a freshman in the fall of 1987, where he played football, baseball, and basketball in addition to running track.

As a junior, McNair led the Mount Olive Pirates to the state championship. McNair also played free safety in high school, and in 1990 alone, he intercepted 15 passes, raising his career total to 30, which tied the mark established by Terrell Buckley

McNair was initially offered a full scholarship to the University of Florida to play running back, but wanting to play quarterback, McNair chose Alcorn State University, a Historically Black University which competes in the NCAA's Division I-AA (now known as the Football Championship Subdivision) Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). In 1992, McNair threw 3,541 yards and 29 touchdowns, and ran in for 10 more scores.

In his senior season, McNair gained 6,281 combined yards rushing (904) and passing (5,377), along with 56 touchdowns. In the process, he surpassed more than a dozen records and was named an All-American.  In addition, McNair won the Walter Payton Award as the top I-AA player and finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting behind Rashaan Salaam and Ki-Jana Carter.

McNair set career records for the Football Championship Series with 14,496 passing yards, as well as the division record for total offensive yards with 16,823 career yards. Only the carer passing has been broken since he left college.

With the third overall pick in the 1995 NFL Draft, the Houston Oilers and new head coach Jeff Fisher selected McNair, making him at the time the highest drafted African-American quarterback in NFL history and signing him to a seven-year contract.

McNair's first season as the Oilers' starter in 1997 (the team's first year in Tennessee) resulted in an 8–8 record for the team, which played its home games at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee.

Early in the 99 season, McNair was diagnosed with an inflamed disk following the Titans' 36–35 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and needed surgery. McNair returned against the St. Louis Rams, and with McNair starting, Tennessee won seven of its last nine games, good for a record of 13–3 and second place in the AFC Central.

Following a 13–3 season in 2000 which ended in a playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, McNair put together his most productive year as a pro in 2001. In 2001, McNair registered career passing highs in yards (3,350), completions (264), touchdowns (21), and quarterback rating (90.2).

In 2002, Tennessee finished the regular season 11–5 but lost. Seems like they just can’t get there. Great team but they are always one game short

2003 season, an injured calf and ankle kept McNair sidelined for two games, though he still finished with the best numbers of his career, including 3,215 passing yards, 24 touchdown passes, just seven interceptions. Another great season and another playoff loss.

April 30, 2006, the Titans allowed McNair to speak with the Ravens to try to work out a deal. on June 7, 2006, the two teams worked out a deal to send McNair to the Ravens for a 4th-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. 

After thirteen seasons in the NFL, McNair announced his retirement from professional football in April 2008.

On July 4, 2009, McNair was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds, along with the body of a 20-year-old woman, He was 36 years old. text messages between the McNair and the woman were exchanged proclaiming their love to one another in which the woman texted the victim, "u love me" in which McNair replied, "I love you baby."

McNair, who was believed to have been asleep on the couch when the shooting occurred,was shot twice in the body and twice in the head, with only one of the shots coming from closer than three feet. After killing him, the murder sat on the couch beside him and shot herself in the temple.

The Nashville police declared McNair's death a murder-suicide.
