Ex-Heisman QB to join FOX following ESPN firing

Robert Griffin III is expected to join FOX Sports as the network’s No. 2 college football analyst, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person was granted anonymity because the deal is not yet official.

The Athletic first reported Griffin III’s move Thursday.

ESPN let Griffin III go prior to the start of last NFL season. The former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft was an analyst on ‘Monday Night Countdown’ and also called college games for the network.

At FOX, he’s expected to work with play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti (also formerly of ESPN). Griffin III would replace Brock Huard, who departed FOX to coach his son’s high school football team.

Griffin III worked on Netflix’s broadcast of two games on Christmas Day during the 2024 season. He also co-hosts the ‘Outta Pocket’ podcast with his wife, Grete.
