Donovan McNabb keeps trying to find his spot again

With the NFL Draft set to start Thursday, I’ve been thinking about one of Syracuse’s biggest stars, Donovan McNabb, and his experiences at the next level. I’ll never forget his being taken with the second overall selection by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999. He was booed loudly from by Eagles fans at the draft. Still, it was seminal moment, with his and Syracuse’s future looking brighter than ever. A lot has changed since then.
