Deeeeep In The Delta.....
It’s been 22 years since Steve’s college career ended. Still, he’s not in the College Football Hall of Fame. He’s never even been nominated.
Why the heck not?
By every one of the National Football Foundation’s criteria, he should be. Steve McNair earned All-America honors (a debated rule that’s keeping out plenty of former stars), he’s been eligible since 2005 and his records still stand. He’s one of the greatest football players the state of Mississippi ever produced.
But apparently McNair’s on-the-field accomplishments aren’t holding him back from being nominated. Perhaps we found the reason he hasn’t gotten his proper due.
SDS reached out to the NFF seeking clarification as to why McNair had never been nominated. An NFF spokesperson stated that each candidate must be nominated by their respective school by filling out a few nomination forms.
According to the NFF, McNair has never been nominated by Alcorn State. Paperwork, NFF stated, was the reason McNair was still waiting enshrinement.
