The 2023 season saw tight end Jake Ferguson take positive steps forward in his development. The 2022 fourth-round draft pick set new career highs with 71 catches, 761 yards, and five touchdowns, meriting his first Pro Bowl selection. In the 48-32 playoff loss to Green Bay, Ferguson hauled in 10 passes for 93 yards and three touchdowns — and in a new interview with ESPN, the former Wisconsin Badger has made it clear that he is just getting started.
To me, I think I’m not even scratching my surface,” Ferguson said. “There’s so many things that I want to get better at and I know I can get better at.
When the 2024 NFL season kicks off this September, all eyes will not only be on the players but also on a new face in the broadcasting booth-Tom Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is set to make his debut as a FOX Sports broadcaster during the season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns. Deshaun Watson, the Browns’ quarterback, has expressed his enthusiasm for Brady’s new role.
On his ‘Lockerverse’ podcast, Watson was asked about Brady handling the broadcasting duties for their first game of the season. “That’s dope as hell, super dope. The GOAT gets to watch, you know. So [I] got no choice but to put on a show,” Watson said. His comments reflect the excitement and respect many players have for Brady, even as he transitions from the field to the booth.
Brady’s arrival at FOX has led to a reshuffling within the network’s broadcasting team. Greg Olsen, who had gained popularity as the lead NFL analyst, will be demoted to the second-team broadcast crew starting in 2024. Olsen‘s salary will also be significantly reduced from $10 million to $3 million annually. Despite the changes, Olsen remains a respected voice in football analysis.
