The 2024 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and it’s time for analysts to make their predictions. One of the most surprising picks of the night is expected to be Trevor Lawrence, a quarterback from Clemson University. Lawrence has been compared to former NFL star John Elway, and many experts believe he could take his team to the Super Bowl in just a few years.
On the other hand, there are changes coming to CBS’s NFL pregame show, “The NFL Today.” Matt Ryan, who recently retired from the NFL after leading the Atlanta Falcons to the Super Bowl, will be joining the show as an analyst. Ryan played 15 seasons with the Falcons and Colts, making four Pro Bowl appearances and leading his team to an NFC Championship and Super Bowl 51. He expressed his excitement about joining “The NFL Today” and upholding its iconic standard set by his predecessors.
Meanwhile, two longtime veterans of the show will not be returning. Phil Simms, who had been with CBS for nearly two decades, will be leaving along with Boomer Esiason. Esiason is known for his tough love approach towards young athletes and has been associated with CBS through his WFAN radio show since 2006. It’s unclear what their next moves will be but one thing is certain – they both leave behind a legacy on “The NFL Today”.
