Steve McNair

Rest in peace Steve McNair.

With media coverage of athletes being what it is these days, with so much access to their personal lives and footage of their interactions with others, you would like to think that you have a good idea of what kind of person a particular athlete is.

Steve McNair seemed like he was a great teammate and person to be around. He also seemed to be an all around classy guy to be around.

My new favorite athlete these days is Orlando Hudson, after seeing just how much of a class act he is on and off the field. Steve McNair, to me, embodied a lot of those same qualities that I appreciate about Orlando Hudson. I'm sure any former teammate, team employee, league employee, or team front office person will tell you the same.

The mystery surrounding his death is sure to unravel in the upcoming days. For now, all we know is that this was certainly a tragic way to die, for a guy who seemed to be so good.
