JJ Watt, the former defensive end, will take on one of the biggest on-air roles in sports after officially being named the new lead NFL analyst for CBS Sports, being handed the post following the exit of his predecessor, Tony Romo.

Watt will continue to call CBS’ top games alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson — including next season when the network telecasts Super Bowl LXII from Atlanta.
