Amazon’s new Thursday Night Football package debuts this fall, and the coverage will be led by legendary play-by-play announcer Al Michaels and longtime college football commentator Kirk Herbstreit.
Herbstreit, who is calling NFL games on a full-time basis for the first time in his career, will continue with his college football duties for ESPN. Herbstreit has called a handful of NFL games for ESPN in the past, but this is the first time in his career that he will call pro games on a regular basis.
Herbstreit shared why he wanted to call NFL games in an interview with NBC’s Peter King.
