Tom Brady will give NFL audiences “things we just die for” when he begins his $375 million broadcast deal with Fox next season.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner will replace the popular Greg Olsen at Fox and will work alongside Kevin Burkhardt in the booth next season.
Brady will be behind the microphone for the first time in the Cowboys-Browns game in Week 1.
And he’s been backed to use his vast experience as a center back in the NFL to bring a new level of insight to fans watching at home.
His Fox co-star Erin Andrews and podcasting partner Clarissa Thompson were on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and gave a big endorsement to Brady.

Erin Andrews revealed that she had lunch with Brady and he gave her a fascinating insight into his career.
“I’ve sat with him at lunch before and he’s been telling me stories about his career,” Andrews said.
And they are things we simply die for. I love insider information. And you’re hearing things you always wanted to know.”
“His resume supports that he’s great at everything he does, so why would this be any different?” Thompson added during the conversation.
Brady has previously spoken about what he thinks he can bring to the booth.
“I think I can offer a unique perspective that I think a lot of people will really like,” he told Front Office Sports in March.
‘It’s going to be very hard work. It is going to be very fun.
‘It’s always about challenging yourself to grow in different areas. And this is certainly one of the ways I’m doing it.”
Olsen, who won a Sports Emmy Award last week, recently revealed that Brady has reached out to him for advice as he prepares for a career in broadcasting.

While Brady may have landed Olsen’s spot as FOX’s top NFL analyst, the former Panthers star held no grudges and was more than willing to give his thoughts to the seven-time Super Bowl winner.
In an interview with USA Today, Olsen revealed that she met with Brady and reiterated the challenges of being in the broadcast booth.
“I had a chance to talk to Tom a couple of weeks ago, and he was just grilling me on the preparation and the industry and what to expect and all that,” Olsen shared.
‘Then I do not know. Each one has their own journey in sports broadcasting.
‘I think everyone thinks it’s easy. I think everyone thinks about getting up there and calling a live football game for three hours, spontaneously and being able to get in, get out, deal with the flow of the game, the players, the schemes, the terminology.’
