Former NFL QB Chase Daniel Joins ESPN College Football Coverage

ESPN has announced a significant broadcasting update with former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel joining their college football coverage as a color commentator. Daniel, who had a 13-year NFL career primarily as a backup and starred at Missouri, will work alongside play-by-play announcer Clay Matvick, with their first game set for August 30. Despite recently losing his role at Fox Sports 1 after the cancellation of The Facility, Daniel quickly secured a prominent position at ESPN, where there is optimism about his potential as a high-level analyst. In addition to his college football duties, Daniel will also serve as a studio analyst for the NFL and co-hosts the Scoop City podcast. This move has been positively received by colleagues and veteran commentators, including Tim Brando, who praised Daniel's debut performance. ESPN has also re-signed Field Yates to a multi-year deal, continuing his role as lead NFL Draft and Fantasy Football analyst, further strengthening the network's football broadcasting team.
