Amazon announces former NFL player to join Thursday Night Football as studio analyst

Amazon continues to build its Thursday Night Football team, and on Tuesday made the latest announcement of a former NFL player to join its studio team as an analyst.

Richard Sherman will join Prime Video’s on-air talent that includes Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit, and Tony Gonzalez, and more names are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

The announcement included background about Sherman’s career:

Sherman’s outstanding 11-year NFL career followed his graduation from Stanford University and a selection in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. He led the NFL in interceptions in 2013, the same season he helped propel the Seahawks to their first Super Bowl victory. Sherman and the Seahawks reached the Super Bowl once again the following season, but ultimately lost an intense battle against the New England Patriots in the final seconds. The lockdown cornerback earned five All-Pro distinctions throughout his career and was twice nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award for his tireless work in the community. Sherman spent seven seasons in Seattle as a member of the Seahawks before joining the San Francisco 49ers. Last season he played with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
