More than a year ago, ESPN surprised many when it parted ways with Robert Griffin III after just three years.<\/p>\n
The immensely famous former Heisman winner and NFL Rookie of the Year scored numerous high-profile jobs with the Worldwide Leader, but was laid off seemingly as a cost-cutting move alongside NBA analyst Zach Lowe and NFL host Sam Ponder.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long before Griffin landed on his feet at Fox Sports<\/a>, where he quickly cemented himself in the network\u2019s No. 2 college football broadcast booth and even brought his podcast along<\/a>. Griffin was on the call for numerous<\/a> top Big Ten and Big 12 games<\/a> this season alongside Jason Benetti.<\/p>\n And recently, word surfaced that with Fox\u2019s college football coverage done for the year, Griffin would also be back on the NFL beat before long. The former Washington quarterback worked as an analyst for\u00a0NFL Live and\u00a0Monday Night Countdown while at ESPN.<\/p>\n Now we know Griffin\u2019s first NFL assignment for Fox. He and Benetti will be in New Orleans to call Panthers-Saints, according to an announcement from the network on Thursday.<\/p>\n This Sunday, tune in to the @NFLonFOX<\/a> for an action-packed doubleheader \ud83d\udc40\ud83c\udfc8<\/p>\n Local listings (subject to change): https:\/\/t.co\/RZIMaCNnSy<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/E0y4gJ8DzT<\/a><\/p>\n
