The man, the myth, the legend

What a get by Brent!! I was so curious about what Donovan McNabb thought of the program under Coach Brown.

[@foreverorangegirl44]

I was a little disappointed and surprised to hear he wasn’t “dipping into NIL” for SU. But I’m happy to have him “back” in the fold, and feeling more welcomed to be in the house by Coach Brown, and I know he’s contributing in other ways. Great Orangeman, on and off the field - Congrats, on your award! 🧡 #ForeverOrange

My favorite SU player of all time

Let's go Orange !
*I'll never forget McNabb was playing behind Doug Peterson at QB in Philly his first year. Andy Reid finally gave McNabb the nod the 8th or 9th week. That was my first year as a Philadelphia Eagles season ticket holder. Fly Eagles Fly
