Arizona Cardinals QB Colt McCoy joins NBC Sports as USFL color analyst

The USFL returns this weekend and will feature a new voice in the broadcast booth. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy will join the NBC team as a color analyst.

McCoy, who enters his 14th NFL season, expects to offer his insights during live coverage. He mentioned his excitement for the new challenge and what he’s learned so far.

“I’ve never really called a live game, but I have done a lot of behind-the-scenes work,” McCoy said Wednesday, via the Cardinals’ team website. “I’ve enjoyed that process. I love the game. I have to study up on the rules — their rules are a little bit different — and I have to learn the players, the coaches, the teams. It’s a little bit different than what we do in the NFL, but I’m excited and I think it’s a great opportunity working with some great people at NBC.”

McCoy is expected to join the NBC telecasts in either late May or early June. He will still be available for offseason activities with the Cardinals.

This season, McCoy could enter as the Cardinals’ starter as teammate Kyler Murray recovers from ACL surgery. McCoy made three starts last season and led the Cardinals to a victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10.
