Paul Kuharsky points out an Esquire list of NFL players who have a bright future as television analysts. Peyton Manning brings home the trophy but Jeff Saturday is right behind him:
2) Jeff Saturday -- From the story: “Surprisingly, the lockout actually helped some guys. As the voice of the players union, he came off as smart, thoughtful, and very likeable. There's a lot of buzz about Saturday. He could get a prime gig right out of the gates." — Agent PK: The more non-quarterbacks added to the analyst ranks, the better. It would be great to have an additional lineman in a prominent spot.
