==Early life==
McNair was born in a small tin-roofed house in [[Mount Olive, Mississippi]], on February 14, 1973. He had four brothers, [[Fred McNair (gridiron football)|Fred]], Jason, Michael, and Tim. He attended [[Mount Olive High School (Mississippi)|Mount Olive High School]] as a freshman in the fall of 1987, where he played [[American football|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]] at [[Old Pascagoula High School|Pascagoula High School]].<ref name="officialstevemcnair.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.officialstevemcnair.com/biography.php |title=The Steve McNair Foundation |publisher=Officialstevemcnair.com |date=February 14, 1973 |access-date=November 20, 2010}}</ref> An All-State selection (offense), McNair was named an All-American by [[Super Prep]] magazine (defense).<ref name="officialstevemcnair.com"/>
The [[Seattle Mariners]] drafted him in the 35th round of the [[1991 Major League Baseball draft|1991 MLB amateur draft]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?query_type=name&name=mcnair | title=MLB Amateur Draft Picks with the Name Matching: mcnair}}</ref>
==College career==
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 colleges and universities|Historically Black University]] which competes in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s Division I-AA (now known as the [[NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision|Football Championship Subdivision]]) [[Southwestern Athletic Conference]] (SWAC). In 1992, McNair threw 3,541 yards and 29 touchdowns, and ran in for 10 more scores. The Braves fashioned a record of 7–4, including a last-second victory in their rematch with [[Grambling State University|Grambling]]. In that contest, McNair returned from an injury and helped Alcorn State, trailing late in the final period, move deep into Tigers' territory. Then, despite a leg injury, he tucked the ball under his arm and dove into the end zone for the winning touchdown. The victory over Grambling helped the Braves qualify for the I-AA playoffs where they faced off against then-Northeast Louisiana, falling 78–27 to the Indians on November 21, 1992. McNair helped Alcorn State to another good year in 1993, as the Braves upped their record to 8–3 while McNair threw for more than 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. He was also named First-Team All-SWAC for the third year in a row.
In his senior season, McNair gained 6,281 combined yards rushing (904) and passing (5,377), along with 56 touchdowns. His total offense averages were 571 [[American football field|y]]/g over 11 games, an all-divisions collegiate per game record. 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<!--This was the last Payton Award for which all I-AA players were eligible. The next year, it became an offense-only award with the creation of the Buck Buchanan Award.--> 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 15,010 passing yards, as well as the division record for total offensive yards with 17,305 career yards.<ref name="fox 07.06.09"/> McNair's record for career passing, total offensive yards, and total number of plays still stand, but his marks for career passing completions and attempts were eclipsed by [[Samford Bulldogs football|Samford]] quarterback [[Devlin Hodges]] in 2018.<ref name="fox 07.06.09"/><ref>{{cite web|title=Devlin Hodges notches FCS mark with 14,584 career passing yards|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25304719/devlin-hodges-samford-bulldogs-sets-fcs-career-passing-record%3fplatform=amp|date=November 17, 2018|access-date=March 4, 2019}}</ref>

==Professional career==
===Houston / Tennessee Oilers / Titans===
====1995–1996====
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 [[National Football League|NFL]] history and signing him to a seven-year contract.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1995 NFL Draft Listing |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1995/draft.htm |access-date=March 31, 2023 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> McNair did not see his first action until the last two series of the fourth quarter in a November game versus the [[1995 Cleveland Browns season|Cleveland Browns]]. Late in the season, he also appeared briefly against the [[1995 Detroit Lions season|Detroit Lions]] and [[1995 New York Jets season|New York Jets]]. In 1996, McNair remained a backup to [[Chris Chandler (American football)|Chris Chandler]] until starting a game on December 8 in Week 15 against the [[1996 Jacksonville Jaguars season|Jacksonville Jaguars]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199612080oti.htm|title=Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Oilers - December 8th, 1996 - Pro-Football-Reference.com|website=Pro-Football-Reference.com}}</ref>
====1997 season====
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 Memorial Stadium|Liberty Bowl]] in [[Memphis, Tennessee]]. McNair's 2,665 passing yards were the most for the Oilers in a season since [[Warren Moon]] in 1993, and his 13 interceptions were the fewest for a single season in franchise history. He also led the team in rushing touchdowns with eight and ranked second behind running back [[Eddie George]] with 674 yards on the ground, at the time the third-highest total for a quarterback in NFL history.
====1998 season====
In 1998, McNair set career passing highs with 492 attempts, 289 completions, 3,228 yards, and 15 touchdowns for the Oilers, now playing in Nashville. He also cut his interceptions to ten, helping his quarterback rating climb to 80.1.
====1999 season: Super Bowl season====
The team officially changed its name from Oilers to Titans for the 1999 season as they debuted a new stadium, [[Adelphia Coliseum]]. Early in the season, McNair was diagnosed with an inflamed disk following the Titans' 36–35 win over the [[1999 Cincinnati Bengals season|Cincinnati Bengals]], and needed surgery. In his stead entered [[Neil O'Donnell]], a veteran who had guided the [[1999 Pittsburgh Steelers season|Pittsburgh Steelers]] to the Super Bowl four years earlier. Over the next five games, O'Donnell led the Titans to a 4–1 record. McNair returned against the [[1999 St. Louis Rams season|St. Louis Rams]], and with McNair starting, Tennessee won seven of its last nine games, good for a 13–3 record and second place in the [[AFC Central]].
The Titans opened the [[NFL playoffs, 1999–2000|playoffs]] at home against the [[1999 Buffalo Bills season|Buffalo Bills]] in a Wild Card game, winning on the "[[Music City Miracle]]" and eventually advancing to [[Super Bowl XXXIV]] in a rematch with the Rams. On the second-to-last play of the game with the Titans facing 3rd down and 5 to go, McNair was hit by two Rams defenders, but he somehow got away and completed a 16-yard pass to [[Kevin Dyson]] to gain a 1st down at the Rams' 10-yard line. On the final play of the game, McNair's pass to Dyson was complete, but [[Final play of Super Bowl XXXIV|Dyson was unable to break the plane of the goal line]], giving the Rams the win. In his only Super Bowl appearance, McNair threw 22-of-36 for 214 yards while rushing eight times for 64 yards.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McNaSt00/gamelog/post/ | title=Steve McNair Career Game Log | website=[[Pro-Football-Reference.com]] }}</ref> McNair signed a new six-year contract after the 1999 season worth US$47 million.<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2006-04-22-notes_x.htm?csp=34 Notes: Favre backs McNair; Leinart hires Condon]. ''[[USA Today]]'', April 22, 2006. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref>
====2000–2001====
McNair played in all 16 games in 2000 but did not start the first of two annual games against the Steelers. This was because of a sternum injury incurred in a 17–14 win over the Kansas City Chiefs the previous game. Following the Titans’ bye week [[Neil O'Donnell]] started against his former team, but after O’Donnell threw three picks he was sacked out of the game in the final four minutes. McNair came in and threw a touchdown to [[Erron Kinney]]; a missed Steelers field goal attempt resulted in the Titans winning 23–20.
Following a 13–3 season in 2000 which ended in a playoff loss to the [[2000 Baltimore Ravens season|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). He was also the team's most effective rusher, tying George for the club lead with five scores. Named to the Pro Bowl for the first time, McNair sat out the game due to a shoulder injury.<ref>The Steve McNair Foundation, [http://www.officialstevemcnair.com/biography.php?pageid=3 Biography]. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref>
====2002 season====
In 2002, Tennessee finished the regular season 11–5 and reached the playoffs. In the divisional round against the [[2002 Pittsburgh Steelers season|Pittsburgh Steelers]], McNair threw for a career postseason high 338 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, while rushing for 29 yards and another score on the ground. The game had a controversial finish when, after missing a game-winning field goal at the end of regulation time and a second failed kick in overtime was negated because of a controversial running-into-the-kicker penalty on Pittsburgh's [[Dewayne Washington]], kicker [[Joe Nedney]] won the game from 26 yards out 2:15 into overtime. Steelers coach [[Bill Cowher]] said that he called a timeout before the winning kick took place. McNair and the Titans reached the AFC Championship game but were unable to reach the Super Bowl, losing to the [[Oakland Raiders]] 41–24.
Between the 2002 and 2003 seasons, McNair was arrested for DUI and illegal gun possession in May 2003. His blood alcohol was above 0.10, and a 9-mm handgun was sitting in the front of the car.<ref>[http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/7518506 Judge: Officer didn't have 'sufficient basis' to stop McNair for DUI]. ''[[CBSSports.com]]'', July 22, 2004. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref> All charges related to the incident were later dropped.<ref name="fox 07.06.09"/>
====2003 season: MVP season====
In December of the 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,<ref>{{cite web|last=Rank|first=Adam|url=http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap2000000324888/NFL-players-from-historically-black-colleges|title=NFL players from historically black colleges|publisher=[[National Football League]]|date=February 10, 2014|access-date=February 27, 2014}}</ref> and a quarterback rating of 100.4. The Titans finished 12–4, the same record as the Colts, but Indianapolis took the [[AFC South]] division championship by virtue of its two victories over Tennessee. McNair and Colts quarterback [[Peyton Manning]] were named co-NFL MVPs following the 2003 season, which ended for the Titans in a playoff loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion [[2003 New England Patriots season|New England Patriots]]. McNair finished the 2003 season as the league leader in [[passer rating]] and became the youngest player in NFL history to pass for 20,000 yards and run for 3,000 yards.
====2004–2005 ====
McNair missed the 2004 season's fourth game with a bruised sternum, an injury suffered the previous week against Jacksonville,<ref>[http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2004/09/27/McNair-hospitalized-with-bruised-sternum/UPI-14731096324472/ McNair hospitalized with bruised sternum]. ''[[United Press International]]'', September 27, 2004. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref> and played in only five more games that season. In 2005, he played in 14 games because of a back injury.
This series of season-ending injuries prompted the Titans to make the business decision of locking McNair out of team headquarters in the 2006 offseason. The team would not let him rehab in its building because it feared an injury would force the franchise to pay him $23.46 million (his contract had been restructured so often that his salary cap reached a hard-to-manage amount). The [[Players Association]]'s filed a grievance on his behalf in which an arbitrator ruled that the team violated its contract, opening the possibility for a trade.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3545105|title=McNair visits Titans, doesn't have animosity over parting – National Football League|date=August 20, 2008|publisher=ESPN|access-date=November 17, 2014}}</ref>
===Baltimore Ravens===
Following the 2005 season, on April 30, 2006, the Titans allowed McNair and his agent, [[Bus Cook|James "Bus" Cook]], to speak with the [[Baltimore Ravens]] to try to work out a deal.<ref name="Walker">Walker, Teresa M.

Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref> By May 2006, the [[Baltimore Sun]] reported that the Ravens were interested in McNair.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2006-05-16-0605160117-story.html | title=McNair's case to be heard today in Tenn | date=May 16, 2006 }}</ref> Speculation was that the Titans might hold onto McNair until the week before training camp in late July if the Ravens didn't come up with a satisfactory trade offer for McNair according to a league source.<ref>Clayton, John.

====2006 season====
[[File:Steve McNair passes against Raiders 2006-09-17.jpg|thumb|McNair throwing a pass in a September 2006 game against the Raiders]]
The 2006 season saw McNair start each game for the Ravens, missing only portions of two games. In the week 14 game against the [[2006 Kansas City Chiefs season|Kansas City Chiefs]], McNair threw the longest regular-season touchdown pass in the Ravens' history, an 89-yard touchdown pass to [[Mark Clayton (American football, born 1982)|Mark Clayton]]. McNair led Baltimore to a 13–3 record and an [[AFC North]] Championship. He made his first playoff start as a Raven against the Colts on January 13, 2007. McNair completed 18 of 29 pass attempts for 173 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions as the Ravens lost, 15–6.<ref name="Look_Back">{{cite web |title=A Look Back at the Career of Steve McNair |url=https://www.titansonline.com/news/a-look-back-at-the-career-of-steve-mcnair-543596 |website=Tennessee Titans |date=July 4, 2009 }}</ref>
====2007 season====
On May 9, 2007, McNair was arrested in Nashville for drunk driving even though he was not driving at the time. It is a misdemeanor offense in Tennessee for an owner of a motor vehicle to knowingly allow an intoxicated person to drive the vehicle. McNair was riding in his own pickup truck as a passenger when the police stopped the truck's driver, McNair's brother-in-law, for speeding. The driver failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for DUI; McNair was charged with DUI by consent.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ravens' McNair arrested on DUI charge |work=The Baltimore Sun |url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-mcnair0510,0,2911203.story?coll=bal-sports-headlines |first=Jamison |last=Hensley |date=May 10, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070512012343/http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-mcnair0510,0,2911203.story?coll=bal-sports-headlines |archive-date=May 12, 2007}}</ref> The quarterback's charge was dropped on July 10, 2007, when McNair's brother-in-law pleaded guilty to reckless driving.<ref>Walker, Teresa M., [https://www.nfl.com/news/dui-charge-against-mcnair-dropped-09000d5d800132b7 DUI charge against McNair dropped] (July 18, 2007), Associated Press.

==Early life==
McNair was born in a small tin-roofed house in [[Mount Olive, Mississippi]], on February 14, 1973. He had four brothers, [[Fred McNair (gridiron football)|Fred]], Jason, Michael, and Tim. He attended [[Mount Olive High School (Mississippi)|Mount Olive High School]] as a freshman in the fall of 1987, where he played [[American football|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]] at [[Old Pascagoula High School|Pascagoula High School]].<ref name="officialstevemcnair.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.officialstevemcnair.com/biography.php |title=The Steve McNair Foundation |publisher=Officialstevemcnair.com |date=February 14, 1973 |access-date=November 20, 2010}}</ref> An All-State selection (offense), McNair was named an All-American by [[Super Prep]] magazine (defense).<ref name="officialstevemcnair.com"/>
The [[Seattle Mariners]] drafted him in the 35th round of the [[1991 Major League Baseball draft|1991 MLB amateur draft]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?query_type=name&name=mcnair | title=MLB Amateur Draft Picks with the Name Matching: mcnair}}</ref>
==College career==
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 colleges and universities|Historically Black University]] which competes in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s Division I-AA (now known as the [[NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision|Football Championship Subdivision]]) [[Southwestern Athletic Conference]] (SWAC). In 1992, McNair threw 3,541 yards and 29 touchdowns, and ran in for 10 more scores. The Braves fashioned a record of 7–4, including a last-second victory in their rematch with [[Grambling State University|Grambling]]. In that contest, McNair returned from an injury and helped Alcorn State, trailing late in the final period, move deep into Tigers' territory. Then, despite a leg injury, he tucked the ball under his arm and dove into the end zone for the winning touchdown. The victory over Grambling helped the Braves qualify for the I-AA playoffs where they faced off against then-Northeast Louisiana, falling 78–27 to the Indians on November 21, 1992. McNair helped Alcorn State to another good year in 1993, as the Braves upped their record to 8–3 while McNair threw for more than 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. He was also named First-Team All-SWAC for the third year in a row.
In his senior season, McNair gained 6,281 combined yards rushing (904) and passing (5,377), along with 56 touchdowns. His total offense averages were 571 [[American football field|y]]/g over 11 games, an all-divisions collegiate per game record. 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<!--This was the last Payton Award for which all I-AA players were eligible. The next year, it became an offense-only award with the creation of the Buck Buchanan Award.--> 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 15,010 passing yards, as well as the division record for total offensive yards with 17,305 career yards.<ref name="fox 07.06.09"/> McNair's record for career passing, total offensive yards, and total number of plays still stand, but his marks for career passing completions and attempts were eclipsed by [[Samford Bulldogs football|Samford]] quarterback [[Devlin Hodges]] in 2018.<ref name="fox 07.06.09"/><ref>{{cite web|title=Devlin Hodges notches FCS mark with 14,584 career passing yards|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25304719/devlin-hodges-samford-bulldogs-sets-fcs-career-passing-record%3fplatform=amp|date=November 17, 2018|access-date=March 4, 2019}}</ref>

==Professional career==
===Houston / Tennessee Oilers / Titans===
====1995–1996====
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 [[National Football League|NFL]] history and signing him to a seven-year contract.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1995 NFL Draft Listing |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1995/draft.htm |access-date=March 31, 2023 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> McNair did not see his first action until the last two series of the fourth quarter in a November game versus the [[1995 Cleveland Browns season|Cleveland Browns]]. Late in the season, he also appeared briefly against the [[1995 Detroit Lions season|Detroit Lions]] and [[1995 New York Jets season|New York Jets]]. In 1996, McNair remained a backup to [[Chris Chandler (American football)|Chris Chandler]] until starting a game on December 8 in Week 15 against the [[1996 Jacksonville Jaguars season|Jacksonville Jaguars]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199612080oti.htm|title=Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Oilers - December 8th, 1996 - Pro-Football-Reference.com|website=Pro-Football-Reference.com}}</ref>
====1997 season====
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 Memorial Stadium|Liberty Bowl]] in [[Memphis, Tennessee]]. McNair's 2,665 passing yards were the most for the Oilers in a season since [[Warren Moon]] in 1993, and his 13 interceptions were the fewest for a single season in franchise history. He also led the team in rushing touchdowns with eight and ranked second behind running back [[Eddie George]] with 674 yards on the ground, at the time the third-highest total for a quarterback in NFL history.
====1998 season====
In 1998, McNair set career passing highs with 492 attempts, 289 completions, 3,228 yards, and 15 touchdowns for the Oilers, now playing in Nashville. He also cut his interceptions to ten, helping his quarterback rating climb to 80.1.
====1999 season: Super Bowl season====
The team officially changed its name from Oilers to Titans for the 1999 season as they debuted a new stadium, [[Adelphia Coliseum]]. Early in the season, McNair was diagnosed with an inflamed disk following the Titans' 36–35 win over the [[1999 Cincinnati Bengals season|Cincinnati Bengals]], and needed surgery. In his stead entered [[Neil O'Donnell]], a veteran who had guided the [[1999 Pittsburgh Steelers season|Pittsburgh Steelers]] to the Super Bowl four years earlier. Over the next five games, O'Donnell led the Titans to a 4–1 record. McNair returned against the [[1999 St. Louis Rams season|St. Louis Rams]], and with McNair starting, Tennessee won seven of its last nine games, good for a 13–3 record and second place in the [[AFC Central]].
The Titans opened the [[NFL playoffs, 1999–2000|playoffs]] at home against the [[1999 Buffalo Bills season|Buffalo Bills]] in a Wild Card game, winning on the "[[Music City Miracle]]" and eventually advancing to [[Super Bowl XXXIV]] in a rematch with the Rams. On the second-to-last play of the game with the Titans facing 3rd down and 5 to go, McNair was hit by two Rams defenders, but he somehow got away and completed a 16-yard pass to [[Kevin Dyson]] to gain a 1st down at the Rams' 10-yard line. On the final play of the game, McNair's pass to Dyson was complete, but [[Final play of Super Bowl XXXIV|Dyson was unable to break the plane of the goal line]], giving the Rams the win. In his only Super Bowl appearance, McNair threw 22-of-36 for 214 yards while rushing eight times for 64 yards.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McNaSt00/gamelog/post/ | title=Steve McNair Career Game Log | website=[[Pro-Football-Reference.com]] }}</ref> McNair signed a new six-year contract after the 1999 season worth US$47 million.<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2006-04-22-notes_x.htm?csp=34 Notes: Favre backs McNair; Leinart hires Condon]. ''[[USA Today]]'', April 22, 2006. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref>
====2000–2001====
McNair played in all 16 games in 2000 but did not start the first of two annual games against the Steelers. This was because of a sternum injury incurred in a 17–14 win over the Kansas City Chiefs the previous game. Following the Titans’ bye week [[Neil O'Donnell]] started against his former team, but after O’Donnell threw three picks he was sacked out of the game in the final four minutes. McNair came in and threw a touchdown to [[Erron Kinney]]; a missed Steelers field goal attempt resulted in the Titans winning 23–20.
Following a 13–3 season in 2000 which ended in a playoff loss to the [[2000 Baltimore Ravens season|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). He was also the team's most effective rusher, tying George for the club lead with five scores. Named to the Pro Bowl for the first time, McNair sat out the game due to a shoulder injury.<ref>The Steve McNair Foundation, [http://www.officialstevemcnair.com/biography.php?pageid=3 Biography]. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref>
====2002 season====
In 2002, Tennessee finished the regular season 11–5 and reached the playoffs. In the divisional round against the [[2002 Pittsburgh Steelers season|Pittsburgh Steelers]], McNair threw for a career postseason high 338 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, while rushing for 29 yards and another score on the ground. The game had a controversial finish when, after missing a game-winning field goal at the end of regulation time and a second failed kick in overtime was negated because of a controversial running-into-the-kicker penalty on Pittsburgh's [[Dewayne Washington]], kicker [[Joe Nedney]] won the game from 26 yards out 2:15 into overtime. Steelers coach [[Bill Cowher]] said that he called a timeout before the winning kick took place. McNair and the Titans reached the AFC Championship game but were unable to reach the Super Bowl, losing to the [[Oakland Raiders]] 41–24.
Between the 2002 and 2003 seasons, McNair was arrested for DUI and illegal gun possession in May 2003. His blood alcohol was above 0.10, and a 9-mm handgun was sitting in the front of the car.<ref>[http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/7518506 Judge: Officer didn't have 'sufficient basis' to stop McNair for DUI]. ''[[CBSSports.com]]'', July 22, 2004. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref> All charges related to the incident were later dropped.<ref name="fox 07.06.09"/>
====2003 season: MVP season====
In December of the 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,<ref>{{cite web|last=Rank|first=Adam|url=http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap2000000324888/NFL-players-from-historically-black-colleges|title=NFL players from historically black colleges|publisher=[[National Football League]]|date=February 10, 2014|access-date=February 27, 2014}}</ref> and a quarterback rating of 100.4. The Titans finished 12–4, the same record as the Colts, but Indianapolis took the [[AFC South]] division championship by virtue of its two victories over Tennessee. McNair and Colts quarterback [[Peyton Manning]] were named co-NFL MVPs following the 2003 season, which ended for the Titans in a playoff loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion [[2003 New England Patriots season|New England Patriots]]. McNair finished the 2003 season as the league leader in [[passer rating]] and became the youngest player in NFL history to pass for 20,000 yards and run for 3,000 yards.
====2004–2005 ====
McNair missed the 2004 season's fourth game with a bruised sternum, an injury suffered the previous week against Jacksonville,<ref>[http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2004/09/27/McNair-hospitalized-with-bruised-sternum/UPI-14731096324472/ McNair hospitalized with bruised sternum]. ''[[United Press International]]'', September 27, 2004. Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref> and played in only five more games that season. In 2005, he played in 14 games because of a back injury.
This series of season-ending injuries prompted the Titans to make the business decision of locking McNair out of team headquarters in the 2006 offseason. The team would not let him rehab in its building because it feared an injury would force the franchise to pay him $23.46 million (his contract had been restructured so often that his salary cap reached a hard-to-manage amount). The [[Players Association]]'s filed a grievance on his behalf in which an arbitrator ruled that the team violated its contract, opening the possibility for a trade.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3545105|title=McNair visits Titans, doesn't have animosity over parting – National Football League|date=August 20, 2008|publisher=ESPN|access-date=November 17, 2014}}</ref>
===Baltimore Ravens===
Following the 2005 season, on April 30, 2006, the Titans allowed McNair and his agent, [[Bus Cook|James "Bus" Cook]], to speak with the [[Baltimore Ravens]] to try to work out a deal.<ref name="Walker">Walker, Teresa M.

Retrieved July 4, 2009.</ref> By May 2006, the [[Baltimore Sun]] reported that the Ravens were interested in McNair.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2006-05-16-0605160117-story.html | title=McNair's case to be heard today in Tenn | date=May 16, 2006 }}</ref> Speculation was that the Titans might hold onto McNair until the week before training camp in late July if the Ravens didn't come up with a satisfactory trade offer for McNair according to a league source.<ref>Clayton, John.

On June 8, McNair flew to Baltimore, passed a physical, and was announced as the newest member of the Ravens.<ref name="Walker" />
====2006 season====
[[File:Steve McNair passes against Raiders 2006-09-17.jpg|thumb|McNair throwing a pass in a September 2006 game against the Raiders]]
The 2006 season saw McNair start each game for the Ravens, missing only portions of two games.

<p>McNair was initially offered a full scholarship to the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/University_of_Florida" title="University of Florida">University of Florida</a> to play running back, but wanting to play quarterback, McNair chose <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Alcorn_State_University" title="Alcorn State University">Alcorn State University</a>, a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Historically_black_colleges_and_universities" title="Historically black colleges and universities">Historically Black University</a> which competes in the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association" title="National Collegiate Athletic Association">NCAA</a>'s Division I-AA (now known as the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Championship_Subdivision" title="NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision">Football Championship Subdivision</a>) <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Southwestern_Athletic_Conference" title="Southwestern Athletic Conference">Southwestern Athletic Conference</a> (SWAC).

The Braves fashioned a record of 7–4, including a last-second victory in their rematch with <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Grambling_State_University" title="Grambling State University">Grambling</a>. In that contest, McNair returned from an injury and helped Alcorn State, trailing late in the final period, move deep into Tigers' territory. Then, despite a leg injury, he tucked the ball under his arm and dove into the end zone for the winning touchdown. The victory over Grambling helped the Braves qualify for the I-AA playoffs where they faced off against then-Northeast Louisiana, falling 78–27 to the Indians on November 21, 1992. McNair helped Alcorn State to another good year in 1993, as the Braves upped their record to 8–3 while McNair threw for more than 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. He was also named First-Team All-SWAC for the third year in a row.

<p>McNair played in all 16 games in 2000 but did not start the first of two annual games against the Steelers.
