Playing career
McNair played professionally in the National Football League (NFL) for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Oilers. During his career he filled a variety of roles, including acting as lead blocker, special teams, and third-down back.[1] By the end of his career, he ran for 803 yards with 3 touchdowns, caught 252 passes with 7 scores and averaged 18.6 yards on kickoff returns and retired as the Chiefs' 10th all-time receiver.
McNair's NFL career was characterized by perseverance: with the Chiefs he was not as acclaimed as incoming running backs Christian Okoye, Barry Word and Harvey Williams, but outlasted them on the team; at Houston he immediately had a falling out with his offensive coordinator and was sent to the scout team, but outlasted the coordinator and made it into game rotation.[3]

McNair was born in Camden, New Jersey and played high school football at Pennsauken High School. Younger brother Scott McNair was a standout running back at Temple University. McNair is a 1988 graduate of Temple University.
McNair was twice convicted on charges related to mistreatment of dogs: In July 1993 he was convicted of animal neglect, fined $500 and put on probation; and in October 1996 he was convicted of cruelty to animals and neglect and ordered to pay nearly $25,000 in fines and perform eight hours of community service.[4]
