Six-Time Pro Bowl NFL Quarterback & Sports Commentator

Donovan McNabb, a former professional football quarterback, is primarily known for his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, a tenure in the National Football League that saw him named to six Pro Bowls and earn a place in the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame. McNabb's on-field accomplishments, such as leading the Eagles to eight playoff appearances, five division titles, and a Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXXIX, highlight his leadership and strategic skills. His dual-threat capabilities - amassing over 30,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards - speak to his multifaceted talent. Moreover, his record of holding the Eagles' franchise records in passing yards, passing touchdowns, attempts, and completions highlight his consistency and proficiency in his role.

Before his professional career, McNabb was a formidable player at Syracuse University, where he was named the Big East's offensive player of the decade for the 1990s. His three-time recognition as the Big East Offensive Player of the Year from 1996 to 1998 and his inclusion in the Syracuse All-Century football team underscore his collegiate achievements. Additionally, McNabb's experience as a basketball player for two seasons at Syracuse University under coach Jim Boeheim adds a layer of versatility to his athletic career. He was recognition as the 2000 NFC Player of the Year by CBS Radio and the Terry Bradshaw Awards on Fox Sports, along with numerous Pro Bowl selections.

After his retirement, McNabb transitioned to a career in sports broadcasting, leveraging his experience and knowledge of the game. His roles have included serving as an analyst on Fox Sports Live, Fox Sports 1's flagship program, and providing color commentary for NFL games. He currently hosts a show on Outkick titled "The Five Spot With Donovan McNabb". McNabb's impact on the game continues to be acknowledged, as demonstrated by the Philadelphia Eagles retiring his jersey number, 5, and his induction into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame.
