Fox has reportedly decided on who will succeed Joe Buck as the network’s leading NFL play-by-play broadcaster: Kevin Burkhardt.
According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Burkhardt is set to earn a promotion and take over the top in-game, NFL role at Fox beginning with the 2022 season. He previously served as the No. 2 NFL play-by-play broadcaster at the network, alongside former tight end Greg Olsen.
