Former Jacksonville State and Super Bowl Champion Eric Davis will host a new, live weekday morning show on NFL Network later this summer.
Debuting Monday, July 30 just as training camps open, the new four-hour "NFL AM" kicks off at 6 a.m. ET every Monday through Friday. NFL AM will blanket the world of the NFL with seasoned and opinionated talent who will report and debate news and examine the personalities that play the game.
Davis, who played 13 NFL seasons at cornerback, comes to NFL Network after spending last year as co-host of "Tierney and Davis" weekdays on 95.7 The Game in San Francisco.
In addition, Davis will begin his second season as the radio analyst for 49ers games this fall. Previously, he served as an NFL analyst for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area and for KPIX-TV telecasts of 49ers preseason games.
The show's discussion will cover a wide-range of NFL-related topics including the cultural convergence of sports, entertainment and music. Each morning, "NFL AM" will collaborate with NFL.com to take a look at the latest in fantasy football news and information.
Joining Davis on the show is FOXSports.com's Mark Kriegel Brian Webber from FOX Sports Digital, Nicole Zaloumis from Comcast Sports Net-New England and Steve Wyche from NFL Media. The show will be based at NFL Network's Culver City, Calif., studios. No other sport is the sole focus of a show of this length each and every weekday morning.
"'NFL AM' will give fans a great reason to look forward to the morning," Mark Quenzel said, NFL Network senior vice president of programming and production. "We know that our fans are looking for more football and we are excited to provide a personality-driven show which focuses on football and everything around it. There will be no better way to start their day."
A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Davis played six seasons (1990-95) in San Francisco, helping the team to a victory in Super Bowl XXIX. A second-round draft choice from Jacksonville State, Davis also played for Carolina (1996-2000), Denver (2001) and Detroit (2002).
The Anniston, Ala., native was a first-team All-Gulf South Conference performer after leading JSU to a 13-1 record and a berth in the NCAA Division II National Championship and the GSC Championship. He was a member of the GSC's All-Decade team for the '80's and was elected into the Jacksonville State University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999.
