Amazon will hire ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit as an NFL color commentator for their new Thursday Night Football package, according NBC Sports’s Peter King.
The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand first reported the news about Amazon’s interest in Herbstreit in late February.
Herbstreit is expected to continue his current college football duties with ESPN and ABC, where he has worked for over two decades. He previously expressed a desire to cover more NFL games, which he has done periodically for ESPN over the last few seasons.
