Font Size: .Several news outlets have reported on the shooting death of former Ravens quarterback Steve McNair. BaltimoreRavens.com spoke with some members of the team that were very close to the former Co-NFL Most Valuable Player. For more information regarding McNair, visit the Associated Press story.

Derrick Mason:

Steve was such a happy person. I even called him Smile. He was always smiling and was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed it. Ive known him for 13 years, and he was the most selfless, happiest and friendliest person I have known. His family and my family are close, and it is a blow to us all. It is a devastating day. Steve will always have a place in my heart. My family and I are hurting for his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.


On the field, there isnt player that was as tough as him, especially at the quarterback position. What I have seen him play through on the field, and what he dealt with during the week to get ready for a game, I have never known a better teammate.



Samari Rolle:

Steve was the ultimate man, first of all. I played with Steve every year of my career, except for two, and got to know his family during that time. He was such a good family man. My prayers are with them at this tough time. I still cant even believe it. To lose such a good friend and a good man so soon doesnt make sense.


If you were going to draw a football player, the physical part, the mental part, everything about being a professional, he is your guy. I cant even wrap my arms around it. It is a sad, sad day. The world lost a great man today.



Ozzie Newsome, Ravens executive vice president and general manager:

This is so, so sad. We immediately think of his family, his boys. They are all in our thoughts and prayers. What we admired most about Steve when we played against him was his competitive spirit, and we were lucky enough to have that with us for two years. He is one of the best players in the NFL over the last 20 years... He was a great player, one of the toughest of competitors, and a tremendous teammate, who was a leader on the field and in the locker room, especially to the young players.
