A multi-dimensional threat from the quarterback position, Donovan McNabb can make plays with his arm, his feet, his strength, his toughness and his creativity. His leadership and uncanny play-making ability have helped raise the standards of success of this franchise since 1999, when the Eagles chose him with the second overall pick in the draft. Alongthe way, McNabb has become one of the NFL's most recognizable and eliteplayers, and was rewarded with a lucrative, 12-year contract extension in 2002. And although he has led the Eagles to a Super Bowl, four NFC Championship game appearances and more postseason wins (7) than any other quarterback in team history, McNabb, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, has his eyes focused on even loftier goals.
Along with his production on the field, his personality, leadership skills, sense of humor, hard-work ethic and attitude, all add up to givePhiladelphiaone of the most well-rounded athletes in sports. "I play this game to be the best," said McNabb. "And the only sure way I know to be the best is to outwork everybody else. Some peopletake onestep toward their dream, accomplish a little something and then feel like that's it. Not me. I'm never satisfied."
