ESPN has signed 11-time Pro Bowler Larry Fitzgerald, Jr., as one of the NFL’s most-decorated, accomplished and respected wide receivers expands to a studio analyst role for the network. The former Walter Payton Man of the Year honoree (2016) will make his ESPN debut on Monday Night Countdown (6 p.m. ET), live from Seattle, in advance of Monday Night Football’s Broncos-Seahawks season-opener on September 12.
