Ep. 36: Donovan McNabb (Super Bowl LV Preview)

Pass It Down

McNabb explains why the winning quarterback from Sunday’s NFC championship game, Tom Brady, can be considered the greatest of alltime--and why he believes the losing QB, Aaron Rodgers, has not earned that same consideration. In previewing Super Bowl LV, McNabb highlights a pair of former players and accomplished offensive coordinators, Eric Bieniemy and Byron Leftwich, that he thinks are being overlooked for head-coaching opportunities. We hear about the playoff game Mike spent in the McNabb Family luxury suite--which featured Donovan’s miraculous fourth-and-26 completion to Freddie Mitchell--and why he received a better greeting from Mr. McNabb than Jay-Z did. We also hear about Donovan’s tense interactions with future 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan on the practice field and why he felt fellow Washington assistants (and future head coaches) Matt LaFleur and Sean McVay needed to break away from Shanahan to realize their potential.
