UCLA Coach Rick Neuheisel, his quarterbacks coach for two seasons in Baltimore, said McNair had an especially close relationship with his four sons, speaking of them often.
"I know he was crazy about his kids," Neuheisel said. "We talked about our boys all the time. Talked about what we thought they could be and all that kind of stuff. . . . This was not a guy who was disappointed about sliding into retirement and didn't know what to do with himself. This was a guy that was still very much eager to live and to enjoy life."

Very tragic
I never liked any team McNair was on, but I always admired his grit. That man played through damn near every kind of injury imaginable. The man wasn’t perfect by a long-shot, but he was a tough SOB, and you have to admire that in a football player, especially in an era of pretty-boy cracker-fragile chumps.
Very tragic for his family and all of his fans.
