Former NFL great QB's brother killed in car crash

The family of Steve McNair has suffered another devastating loss this week.

Michael 'Doc' McNair, the brother of the former famed NFL QB, tragically lost his life in a car accident in Mississippi. He was 37.

According to WDAM-TV, McNair was transported to a local hospital following the crash where he was pronounced dead. Like his brother, 'Doc' attended Alcorn State University where is other brother, Fred McNair, was head football coach for eight seasons until 2023.

Steve McNair made his name at Alcorn State before being drafted by the Houston Oilers in 1995. He made the transition with the franchise to Nashville and led the Tennessee Titans to their first Super Bowl appearance in 2000. McNair finished up his career with the Baltimore Ravens as a top three passer.

In a tragic turn of events, McNair was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds, along with the body of his 20-year-old girlfriend in a suspected murder-suicide on the Fourth of July in 2009. He was 36 years old.

Doc leaves behind a one-year-old son who carries on his name. “Hilarious, always had a smile on his face,” Fred McNair said about his brother. “He made a big change, a 360-degree change, in his life as a person, overcame all the obstacles that were against him, got back in church and community and uplift(ed) people.” He went on to say, “The family has been overwhelmed with the love and support of the community during this difficult time."
