Keenan McCardell
Keenan Wayne McCardell (/mɪˈkɑːrdɪl/; born January 6, 1970) is an American football coach and former wide receiver who is the wide receivers coach for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). He previously served as the wide receivers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, University of Maryland, College Park, and Washington Redskins.
McCardell played college football for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the 12th round of the 1991 NFL draft. He played for 17 seasons in the NFL and also played for the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Diego Chargers and Houston Texans. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, McCardell won two Super Bowl rings, with the Redskins in 1991 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002.
McCardell is the son of Arthur and Mattie McCardell. He attended Waltrip High School in Houston, Texas. He was a three-sport athlete, playing quarterback in football as well as participating in basketball and track.
McCardell starred at UNLV, where his speed and athleticism enabled him to become one of the premier wide receivers in college football. He left as the school's leading all-time receiver with 141 catches for 2,189 yards (15.5 yards per catch) and 15 touchdowns. He emerged as UNLV's big-play receiver during his junior year, catching 54 passes for 883 yards (16.4 avg.) and five touchdowns, while being named team MVP and becoming the first UNLV receiver to post four consecutive 100-yard games.
McCardell was selected in the 12th round of the 1991 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins, but he never took the field in a Redskins' uniform. He, however, got a Super Bowl ring with the Redskins while being on injured reserve. He was cut after the 1991 season.
McCardell signed with the Cleveland Browns in 1992. He saw his first regular season action, but only recorded one reception for eight yards. Most of the season was spent on injured reserve due to a knee injury.
He was released by the Browns early in the 1993 regular season to make room for fullback Kevin Mack. The Chicago Bears added him to their practice squad in November, though Cleveland brought him back a month later. In Week 16 against the New England Patriots, he scored his first professional touchdowns. He added two more the following week against the Los Angeles Rams. His production steadily increased during his time in Cleveland. He had ten receptions for 182 yards in the 1994 season. Although he only started five games in 1995, he racked up 56 catches, 709 yards, and four touchdowns. Following the season, he became a free agent. He finished his career with the Browns with 80 receptions for 1,133 yards and eight touchdowns.
McCardell signed a three-year $6 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on March 1, 1996. During his first season with the team he made 85 catches for 1,129 yards and three touchdowns, and earned himself a trip to his first ever Pro Bowl. With the emergence of teammate Jimmy Smith, the Jaguars had one of the best duos at wide receiver in the NFL. They earned the nickname "Thunder and Lightning" with McCardell as "Thunder" because of his ability to run routes in the middle of the field. After the 2001 season, McCardell, along with many other Jaguar starters, were waived due to salary cap reasons. He finished his six-year career with the Jaguars recording 499 receptions for 6,393 yards and 30 touchdowns.
