a dual-threat QB with a fast rise and real playmaking juice
McNair is worth watching because he turned a midseason opening at Tennessee State into a legitimate starting-caliber run in 2025, including an 18-of-22, 174-yard, 3-TD outburst against Howard and a 47-yard rushing night that showed he can create outside structure. He brings a compact, 6-foot frame, poise under pressure, and enough mobility to punish defenses that overplay the pass, but the fit question is about consistency: in 2025 he also had turnover-heavy stretches and was briefly sidelined by a non-throwing shoulder injury. If you want a quarterback with upside, toughness, and mobility, he’s intriguing; if you need a polished, mistake-free distributor right now, there are questions.
