It’s not uncommon for former NFL quarterbacks to thrive in the broadcast booth. It is, however, not common practice to start your broadcasting career while you’re still a player.
Cardinals likely starting quarterback Colt McCoy is going to be one of NBC’s color analysts during USFL telecasts this season—with the season starting this week.
“I’ve never really called a live game but I have done a lot of behind-the-scenes work,” McCoy told azcardinals.com Wednesday. “I’ve enjoyed that process. I love the game. I have to study up on the rules—their rules are a little bit different—and I have to learn the players, the coaches, the teams. It’s a little bit different than what we do in the NFL, but I’m excited and I think it’s a great opportunity working with some great people at NBC.”
