Former NFL punter and kicker Pat McAfee continues seeing his post-career life improve.

McAfee is one of the most popular sports analysts in the country, in large part because of his “The Pat McAfee Show” podcast on ESPN throughout the week and his co-hosting of ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturdays.

McAfee, who signed a five-year, $85 million deal to take his daily series from FanDuel to ESPN last year, now has even more good news this week.

Before Sunday’s slate of Week 4 games kicked off, NFL Network’s Rich Eisen revealed that Pat McAfee would have a recurring spot on NFL Network’s ‘NFL GameDay Morning.’

“I’ve been told some great news. Pat, once we’re back from the London fortnight, Pat’s going to join us once a week on GameDay Morning,” Eisen said. “Alright, Pat.”

“He’s going to work every day of the week, isn’t he?” Kurt Warner added. “No days off.”

“Let’s shake things up. Bring mad Mel for one of them,” Eisen continued.

His presence on GameDay Morning means McAfee will now have a presence on television all seven days out of the week throughout the football season.
