Netflix series ‘Untold’ will examine murder of Steve McNair

Netflix will release a new episode of “Untold” on Aug. 20 examining the murder of Tennessee Titans/Houston Oilers legend Steve McNair.

Earlier this week, Netflix revealed that its sports documentary series “Untold” will return in August with three new episodes that “go well beyond the headlines.”

Among those will be the murder of Titans/Oilers Ring of Honor member Steve McNair, who was found shot to death on July 4, 2009, alongside 20-year-old Sahel “Jenni” Kazemi in a Nashville condominium.

Nashville police declared McNair’s death a murder-suicide with Kazemi named the perpetrator.

Over the years, there have been some wild conspiracy theories associated with McNair’s murder, and it’s possible “Untold” will explore those.

McNair was a first-round pick (No. 3 overall) of the Houston Oilers in the 1995 NFL draft. He spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Oilers/Titans before closing things out with the rival Baltimore Ravens (2006-2007).

McNair earned co-MVP honors with Peyton Manning in 2003, when he also was named a second-team All-Pro. In his 13-year career, he voted to the Pro Bowl three times. In 2019, the Titans retired McNair’s No. 9 jersey.

The episode on McNair will premiere on Tuesday, Aug. 20.
