Since the 2020-21 NFL season began, Charles Davis has been an analyst on the number two broadcast team for CBS’s NFL coverage along with Ian Eagle and Evan Washburn. While Davis has worked with many top broadcasters while he was at FOX such as Thom Brennaman, Dick Stockton, Gus Johnson, and Kevin Burkhardt, he has learned a bit from Eagle as well.
Davis was a guest on the most recent episode of The Dave Pasch Podcast and he said that him and Eagle don’t disagree on much and Eagle is always there for him when he needs help:
“He [Eagle] helps me all the time. There’s things we disagree about but I’d be stunned to find out if we ask this question 10 years down the road that he and I ever crossed words. He’s so good and so brilliant and so smart. I’m very, very happy to follow his lead and at the same time, when I have something to offer, he considers it. It’s everything legit. If we decide not to do something, there’s always a valid reason for it. I don’t spend any time going I don’t believe he didn’t want to do that idea.”
While Davis admitted he does have an ego, he is always looking to learn whenever he can and the main reason he always wants to learn is that he doesn’t have the resume that can allow him to stand on his laurels like other broadcasters:
“My thing I think ls learning along the way and coming up the way that I have had to come up. I have more to prove all the time, so I’m not one that has a resume that just sings out at you. I wasn’t an All-American, I wasn’t an All-Pro, I wasn’t a Coach of the Year so I have to keep working to prove. In no way, shape, or form can I jump to the front of line and go look at me and do jazz hands. It doesn’t work that way.”
Davis has been very happy at CBS and he told Pasch it makes sense to him where he is at now in his broadcast journey:
‘As I said then, it made sense. My contract was up. CBS was interested in me. Like I tell everybody without diving too deep, it just made sense for me to be where I am now, which is at CBS and I consider myself grateful that they would want me to join their team.”
