The start of the 2024 NFL season is just a few weeks away, and all 32 teams are going through training camp, finalizing their depth charts and rosters, and getting critical preseason work in before the games begin.
That includes the broadcast teams, and one new member in particular is getting all the preseason reps that he can.
Tom Brady.
The former quarterback and surefire first-ballot Hall of Fame selection is set to embark on his broadcasting career this season as he steps into the booth at FOX Sports. Brady was spotted with FOX Sports play-by-play announce Kevin Burkhardt at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, as the San Franciso 49ers hosted the New Orleans Saints in preseason action:
Brady is stepping into the No. 1 analyst role at FOX Sports alongside Burkhardt, a role previously held by former NFL tight end Greg Olsen. While Olsen won a pair of Sports Emmys for his work in that role, including being named the top Event Analyst at this year’s Sports Emmys, Olsen is sliding into the No. 2 analyst role at FOX Sports this year. Olsen will be in the booth alongside Joe Davis each week.
Brady is set to make his FOX Sports debut in Week 1 of the NFL season, where he will be on the call for the 4:25 p.m. Eastern game between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.
