When Josh McCown retired from the NFL on June 17th, it marked the end of the an era. Both McCown brothers are now officially out of the league. Collectively, they were on the active roster on 13 NFL teams. Classic journeymen.
Elder McCown’s retirement gives us the chance to look back at one of the most underrated backup performances of all time: Younger McCown filling in for an injured Drew Brees in Carolina in 2015.
It’s probably worth revealing that when Josh retired, I had to look up which McCown actually played for the Saints in 2015 because I thought it was Josh.
