Logan Ryan retired as a player just over a year ago, but his NFL journey is far from over.
The former defensive back who won the Super Bowl twice during an 11-year career has found a new home in broadcasting.
After spending his first year as a studio analyst, Ryan is making the jump to game-day coverage.
“BIG NEWS!! 1 year removed from the field, now I’m in the booth calling NFL games for NFL on CBS. Dream job in Year 2. CBS is giving me the shot to bring a fresh perspective to the game we all know & love. Kickoff can’t come soon enough! Tune in, it’s good for ratings,” Ryan wrote on X.

The transition from studio work to calling live games represents a significant step up.
Ryan built his reputation as one of the league’s smartest defenders during his career with the New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.
He made three Super Bowl appearances and has the distinction of intercepting former teammate Tom Brady’s final pass for New England, when Ryan was with the Titans.
The safety officially retired in April 2024, choosing to focus on family life while exploring new opportunities.
TV networks are increasingly turning to more recently retired players who can offer authentic insights that connect with today’s audiences.
Ryan joins J.J. Watt as another high-profile former player making his in-game broadcast debut this season, showing how CBS values that fresh perspective from those who just left the game.
