McNair was a tremendous athlete and football player. Maybe not quite HoF worthy, but extremely close. He had a great arm as well as very good speed and was as competitive as anybody you could think of; he seemed to always go for one more move, one more yard rather than run out of bounds to avoid a hit.
When I think of McNair it's him tucking the ball and running because none of his mediocre receivers could get open. After that he not only ran ten yards for a first down, but rather than going in to a slide he would then cut back and go for another ten or fifteen yards, juking a linebacker and then lowering his shoulder and making a safety hurt more than he did on the tackle.
