4 Giants who should follow Tom Brady into the broadcast booth

Looking for a new career? What about sports broadcasting? Earlier this week, the New York Giants‘ old friend, Tom Brady, who the franchise defeated in two Super Bowls, reportedly agreed to a 10-year, $375 million contract as the FOX lead color commentator. That deal will commence whenever he finally retires from football. Brady’s megadeal will net him $37 million a year, which equates to just under two million dollars per game, more than he has earned any year in his NFL career.

Brady is following a long lineage of NFL players to join the broadcasting industry at the end of their on-field careers. Tony Romo, Greg Olsen, Cris Collinsworth, and Troy Aikman, the lead analysts at each of the four networks who carry the NFL, all had solid NFL careers that parlayed into broadcast stardom.

Brady’s megadeal got us thinking, which Giants players would be the most successful in the broadcast business?

Here are the 4 Giants who would make the best TV personalities

4. Kayvon Thibodeaux

No Giants player has a personality bigger than Kayvon Thibodeaux — ALREADY! — and, in the sports TV industry, which is an entertainment business, big personalities are imperative. Thibodeaux showcased his fun, easy-going attitude on draft night when he came dancing out on the stage before going through a secret handshake with Roger Goodell.

The day before the NFL draft, while being interviewed by ESPN’s NFL Live, the crew, who knew Thibodeaux’s broadcast interests and experience with journalism classes at the University of Oregon, let him host a segment.

And let’s not forgot, Thibodeaux’s mentor is ex-Giants superstar pass rusher Michael Strahan, who followed his historic football career with broadcasting stardom, currently starring as co-host of both Good Morning America and FOX NFL Sunday.
