He will be joined by Richard Sherman and Keyshawn Johnson on the panel.
Previously, Irvin had worked as an analyst for ESPN and NFL Network.
FS1 executive vice president of content, Charlie Dixon, explained that the network’s focus has shifted from creating conflicts for the sake of debate to finding chemistry and agreement between the panelists.
This approach allows for deeper and more meaningful conversations.
In addition to the regular panelists, Irvin, Sherman, and Johnson, Dixon has a roster of over a dozen analysts who will fill in regularly on the show.
This list reportedly includes newcomers like Rachel Nichols and Lil Wayne, as well as other FS1 talent such as Nick Wright and Emmanuel Acho.
