Raven’s QB Steve McNair Retires

Steve McNair, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens has announced to his teammates his decision to retire. McNair has been selected to the Pro Bowl three times and was the Co-AP NFL MVP in 2003. McNair’s 3,590 career rushing yards and 37 rushing touchdowns rank fifth and third respectively all-time among NFL quarterbacks. McNair, who is 35 years old, led the Ravens to a 13-3 record in 2006, his first season in Baltimore after 11 years with the Tennessee Titans.

His decision to retire leaves the Ravens with two quarterbacks, Kyle Boller and Troy Smith. It also will increase the likely probability that Baltimore will be looking to acquire a quarterback in the NFL draft later this month.
