Desmond Howard, Scott Van Pelt, and Kirk Herbstreit of ESPN have been hit with COVID-19. Add Todd Blackledge to the list of people who have faced the coronavirus.
The former Penn State QB and No. 1 draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1983 revealed Friday he will be off the CFP championship Monday between Ohio State and Alabama due to a COVID diagnosis.
From @Todd_Blackledge: Unfortunately, I won't be calling the #NationalChampionship due to a recent COVID diagnosis. I feel fine & so grateful to have worked through the Rose Bowl, but disappointed to miss Monday night. You're in great hands with Sean & @GregMcElroy on @ESPNRadio!
