A familiar name to NFL fans will be in the broadcast booth for Sunday's game between the Washington Football Team and Detroit Lions.

Five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Aqib Talib will make his broadcasting debut for Fox Sports during the game, serving as an analyst alongside play-by-play announcer Brandon Gaudin in the booth.

Talib said he's been watching lots of film from both teams to prepare for his new gig.

Who’s in control of the bleep button!? 🤣

Yes! I’ll be in the FOX booth this weekend as the analyst for the Washington/Detroit game!
