ESPN has signed a new multi-year agreement with Todd McShay. The NFL Draft and college football analyst will continue as a prominent year-round voice, offering analysis on ESPN television, ESPN Radio, ESPN.com and ESPN The Magazine.
McShay is expected to appear regularly on NFL Insiders, NFL Live, and SportsCenter leading up to the 2016 NFL Draft (April 28-30). During the NFL Draft, he’ll deliver analysis on SportsCenter before and after Round 1, and team up with Mel Kiper Jr. on ESPN for Rounds 2-7.
As part of the new deal, Todd will remain on ESPN and ABC college football telecasts in the fall. He will also contribute to ESPN’s on-site coverage of top football events throughout the year, including the College Football Playoff National Championship, Senior Bowl, NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, NFL Scouting Combine, NFL Pro Days and more.
“This was the right decision for a number of reasons,” McShay said. “ESPN has always been the driving force behind the NFL Draft and it’s the home of the College Football Playoff. Plus, working at ESPN is like being part of the ultimate team, and I’ve been fortunate to develop many strong friendships here. I’m excited about the draft and my future at ESPN.”
Added ESPN senior coordinating producer of NFL studio shows Seth Markman: “Todd has an incredible skillset and work ethic, and his analysis has been an invaluable asset to ESPN’s NFL and college football presentation. We look forward to him being a big part of our draft coverage for many more years to come.”
