Overview

  • NFL Media announced Tuesday that Nelson Agholor and Cody Kessler have joined its studio analyst roster and will appear on NFL GameDay Preview during the 2026 season.
  • The show will stream Sundays at 11:30 a.m. ET and Mondays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET on the NFL Channel through major FAST platforms, plus NFL+, the NFL’s YouTube channel and the NFL app.
  • Kessler will also work major-event coverage, including the Super Bowl, the NFL Scouting Combine and the NFL Draft, while Agholor moves into media two years after his last NFL season in 2024 and without a formal retirement announcement.
  • Creator Pete Herzog of Film Watchers was added to NFL+ to deliver weekly film breakdowns using NFL Pro, reflecting a mix of former-player voices and independent analyst content.
  • NFL Media’s recruiting comes as the network operates under an ESPN equity arrangement that places NFL Network inside ESPN’s umbrella and is reshaping the league’s content strategy toward streaming and creator-focused shows.
