“I am very excited to begin my broadcasting career by joining the CBS Sports family and the ‘TOPS’ team,” Long, who was the 20th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Oregon, said in a statement.
“As a recently retired player, Kyle brings a knowledge straight from the field of today’s game coupled with the mindset of its current generation of athletes,” Harold Bryant, CBS Sports’ executive producer and senior vice president of production, said in the announcement.
Long joins panelists Adam Schein, Amy Trask and London Fletcher; Schein and Trask have been there since the show’s 2013 beginnings, while Fletcher joined in 2014.
