The older son of late quarterback Steve McNair drew a standing ovation on Saturday night with his speech at the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Tyler McNair, who will be a senior at Brentwood Academy near Nashville this fall, represented his father and his family as Steve McNair was one of 10 inductees in the hall this year.
“While he prided himself on being a country guy from Mississippi, the state of Tennessee and especially the Nashville community embraced him and us and made it easy for Nashville to become our home too,” Tyler McNair said, adding thanks to a few individuals, including Steve’s longtime agent, Bus Cook.
