CBS adds J.J. Watt to its announcer stable

J.J. Watt is joining CBS Sports’ announce team

Former NFL great defensive player J.J. Watt has a new job.

Albeit, part-time.

The great Watt, who starred for the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals, will be working with CBS Sports on its NFL games over some weekends in the 2023 season.

Per the CBS press release:
“We are thrilled to welcome J.J. to the CBS Sports family and add one of the greatest defensive players of all time to our team,” President of CBS Sports David Berson said. “As he steps off the field after a Hall of Fame career, J.J. brings deep passion, unique insights and opinions from today’s NFL. We think fans will love what J.J. brings to our coverage.”

“I love the game too much to be away from it entirely. I’m very excited to be joining CBS Sports to contribute across all their NFL shows and platforms, including working alongside and learning from JB, Coach, Boomer, Phil and Nate this fall,” said Watt. “Hopefully fans will enjoy the insights and knowledge I’ve gained over my 12 years in the NFL and if we’re lucky, we’ll share a few laughs along the way as well.”
