Steve McNair is the most underrated player in the league, bar none, ... Nobody really knows how good this guy is till you go out and play against him on the field. Watch him just try to do things out there, freelancing, having fun, making plays. He's a great quarterback.

I was never really liked in that city. I mean, I don't think I was liked as a person. I was kind of seen as a black kid, young African-American, cornrows, drives fancy cars, wears diamond earrings, things like that. They just kind of based their perception off of what I drove and what I did and things like that. All those things were never a part of any other player on that team but me.
