CBS Hires JJ Watt For NFL Analyst Role

CBS is shaking up its NFL coverage. CBS has hired the recently retired JJ Watt as an NFL analyst. Watt will appear on their Sunday studio shows. Watt will be added to the crew that already consists of James Brown, Bill Cowher, Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason, and Nate Burleson.

“I love the game too much to be away from it entirely. I’m very excited to be joining CBS Sports to contribute across all their NFL shows and platforms, including working alongside and learning from JB, Coach, Boomer, Phil and Nate this fall,” Watt said in a statement from CBS. “Hopefully fans will enjoy the insights and knowledge I’ve gained over my 12 years in the NFL and if we’re lucky, we’ll share a few laughs along the way as well.”

“I will be working on CBS this fall,” Watt

Watt, 34, will also be inducted into the Houston Texans ring of honor this year too. Watt is likely bound for Canton and hopefully will bring knowledge and insight to the CBS crew. Hopefully, he has better takes than the one he had on Lamar Jackson not too long ago.

“We are thrilled to welcome J.J. to the CBS Sports family and add one of the greatest defensive players of all time to our team,” CBS Sports president David Berson said in the statement. “As he steps off the field after a Hall of Fame career, J.J. brings deep passion, unique insights and opinions from today’s NFL. We think fans will love what J.J. brings to our coverage.”
