It’s pretty commonplace to see former professional athletes go into broadcasting.
They typically can offer a unique insight and in-depth analysis of the game – simply because they’ve been there and done that.
Look at former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who will step right off the gridiron – even though he hasn’t filed his retirement papers yet – and right into CBS’ broadcast booth. The network announced earlier this month that Romo will replace another former pro Phil Simms as Jim Nantz’s broadcast partner for Thursday and Sunday NFL games.
Continuing its standard of being a first-class organization, the Miami Dolphins created the Dolphins Mentoring Program – a service provided by the organization’s Player Engagement Department to provide opportunities and experiences for current and former players.
