Former All-American quarterback Jim McMahon will have his No. 9 jersey retired as he enters the BYU Hall of Fame later this fall, the school announced Thursday.

McMahon was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1982 and played 16 seasons in the NFL. "Jim is one of the elite college quarterbacks of all time," BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said in a statement.
