Former Colts punter Pat McAfee will be the XFL broadcast announcer.
Pat McAfee the former Indianapolis Colts punter is reportedly joining ESPN’s broadcasts for the new 2020 XFL season.
“(McAfee) feels like a natural with the XFL,” Lee Fitting, ESPN’s senior vice president of production, told The New York Post. “He feels like a natural down on the field for us. With the XFL, we are really pushing the access piece and the in-game access piece. Live interviews on the sideline.
“The reporters are going to have some freedom. You put those thoughts together then why not Pat? He’s going to be a natural down there and we are going to give him a little bit of a longer leash to operate.”
The league will start in February, and will be with former Seahawks wide receiver Joey Galloway and play-by-play announcer Tom Hart.
