Tom Brady is finally making his debut in the announcing booth this coming NFL season and unsurprisingly, he will be headed to the front of the line and forming Fox’s A-team alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
It’s no surprise Brady has immediately received top billing given his seven Super Bowl rings and the absolute haul he commanded from Fox for his services, but his presence has shaken up the announce teams as a whole.
The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand shared the updated announcer teams Fox will deploy this season alongside the Burkhardt/Brady duo, including Joe Davis/Greg Olsen, Adam Amin/Mark Sanchez, Kenny Albert/Jonathan Vilma, Kevin Kugler/Daryl Johnston, and Chris Myers/Mark Schlereth.
With Tom Brady on board, Fox NFL will have nearly all new teams.
* Kevin Burkhardt-Brady
* Joe Davis-Greg Olsen
* Adam Amin-Mark Sanchez
* Kenny Albert-Jon Vilma
* Kevin Kugler-Daryl Johnston
* Chris Myers-Mark Schlereth

It’s quite the star-studded lineup that should make every game on Fox feel like a big deal this coming season, as long as Brady isn’t a bust.
He has big shoes to fill, as many fans were clamoring for Olsen to remain in his role as the top color guy after gradually winning audiences over with his unique insight and overall exuberance for the game.
This lineup represents a bit of a step up for Amin and Sanchez, as it will be Amin’s fifth season with Fox and first alongside Sanchez while doing some higher-profile assignments.
Kugler and Johnston are the other new duo, while Myers/Schlereth and Albert/Vilma have both had experience calling games alongside one another before and should have no issue picking up where they left off.
Just running through this list really gets the blood pumping.
Football can’t come soon enough.
