Pat McAfee is a fan-favorite commentator among WWE fans, but he hasn’t been around as often as some may like. Although he made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 39, he’s been making appearances elsewhere lately, and now it seems that he may have an even bigger deal in the works.
According to The New York Post, Pat McAfee is in talks to leave his position at FanDuel and sign a deal with ESPN. The move could see him host his daily show, “The Pat McAfee Show,” on the network. McAfee has become a multi-platform sensation, with work as a WWE performer, a “College GameDay” panelist, and a popular YouTube show.
No deal has been confirmed yet, but an announcement may be forthcoming. It is speculated that the move could be announced as soon as the Upfronts on May 16th. McAfee has also been seen posing for a photo with Disney’s Bob Iger, adding fuel to the speculation.
McAfee’s charisma and ability to engage an audience have been the driving forces behind his success in broadcasting. After his career as an NFL punter came to an end, he transitioned to the microphone and has been thriving ever since.
While Pat McAfee signed a significant deal with FanDuel, it appears that he may be poised to move on to even bigger things. His future may be up in the air, but it’s clear that he has a knack for landing high-dollar deals.
