Fans may hear J.J. Watt calling a lot of Pittsburgh Steelers games this season

J.J. Watt could be calling a lot of Pittsburgh Steelers games this season. He will be joining Ian Eagle on the CBS Sports No. 2 announcing team for the 2025 season, the network announced amid shifts to their broadcasting team.

Watt will replace Charles Davis, who is set become the lead College Football Analyst, replacing Gary Danielson. Danielson announced his plans to retire following the season. Davis will still call NFL games during the 2025 season in an unspecified role, but will not work with Eagle, his longtime broadcast partner.

Watt had been a studio analyst for CBS Sports for the last two seasons. He called the Steelers’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs this last season.

CBS carries most of the AFC’s games in their TV contract with the NFL. As a result of the Steelers’ competitiveness under Mike Tomlin, they often assign their No. 2 crew to Steelers games, and that could see Watt calling many of the Steelers’ games this upcoming season.

The former defensive lineman and future Hall of Famer long had aspirations of making the transition into the booth from the studio and will now get to do that with Eagle as his partner each week.
