ESPN has added another analyst to their “Monday Night Countdown” team.

Larry Fitzgerald revealed over Twitter Wednesday that he has been hired by ESPN to serve as a member of the Monday night team. Fitzgerald will appear numerous times throughout the season as a studio analyst.

Monday Night Football is a huge reason so many people fall in love with the game…it’s surreal to be a part of that tradition.

Unlike Steve Young, Booger McFarland and Robert Griffin III, who will be part of the on-site team, Fitzgerald will be one of the studio analysts most of the time. He will have a role similar to Alex Smith, where they appear multiple times.

Fitzgerald will be in Seattle for the Week 1 Monday night game between the Seahawks and Broncos.

Fitzgerald, 39, played in the NFL from 2004-2020. He spent his entire career with the Cardinals, leading the NFL in catches and touchdowns twice apiece. He made 12 Pro Bowls during his career.
