Today marks the 15th anniversary of the tragic death of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair, who was found dead at the age of 36 in 2007. The official report stated that McNair was murdered by his girlfriend, Jenny Kazemi, who then took her own life. However, many questions remained unanswered and suspicions that it was a double murder disguised as a murder-suicide lingered in the minds of many.
Steve McNair had a remarkable career in the NFL spanning 13 years. He was selected third overall in the 1995 NFL draft from Alcorn State and played for several teams throughout his career, including the Oilers and Titans for 11 seasons before finishing with the Ravens in 2006 and 2007. One of his notable achievements was leading the Titans to a Super Bowl appearance in XXXIV, coming just short of forcing overtime in a thrilling game against the Rams.
Throughout his career, McNair accumulated over 31,000 passing yards and appeared in 161 regular-season games with 153 starts. He shared the MVP award with Peyton Manning in 2003 and was recognized for his contributions to the Titans by having his number 9 jersey retired by the team and being honored in their Ring of Honor.
