Netflix to Release a Documentary on Tennessee Titans Legend Steve McNair in December 2025
Netflix has officially announced the upcoming release of a new sports documentary centered on the life and legacy of former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair. Scheduled to premiere in December 2025, the film promises a comprehensive and emotional portrayal of McNair’s journey from a small-town Mississippi upbringing to NFL stardom. The streaming giant revealed that the project will feature never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews with former teammates, coaches, and family members, and a deep dive into both the triumphs and personal struggles that shaped McNair’s remarkable career.
Steve McNair, affectionately known as “Air McNair,” played 13 seasons in the NFL, earning co-MVP honors in 2003 and leading the Titans to Super Bowl XXXIV. Known for his grit, leadership, and ability to play through pain, McNair became a beloved figure not only in Tennessee but across the football world. The documentary aims to explore his impact on the sport and his role in breaking down stereotypes about Black quarterbacks in the NFL during the 1990s and early 2000s.
According to Netflix, the film will also candidly address the tragic end to McNair’s life in 2009, providing insight into the pressures of fame, physical toll of football, and the complexities of his personal life. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Ezra Edelman, known for “O.J.: Made in America,” the documentary is expected to balance celebration with introspection. Fans and sports historians alike are already calling the project one of the most anticipated sports documentaries of the year.
