Former Colts punter Pat McAfee is making his NFL broadcasting debut with FOX as an analyst for Sunday's game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers.

McAfee made the announcement during the latest episode of The Pat McAfee Show podcast.

McAfee has become a popular sports personalty since hanging up his cleats. He debuted the Pat McAfee Show on Barstool Radio before leaving the company in August. He started his hosting career with the IndyStar's Pat McAfee Show.

As he transitions to the booth, the radio host turned comedian said he'll remain fair in his analysis despite his personal connections to the Packers.

"I've gotta be impartial, I've gotta be 50/50," he said. "I'm pulling for the Lions just as much as I'm pulling for Aaron Rodgers, who's a really good friend of mine. ... Joe Philbin was a coach of mine."

Packers interim head coach Joe Philbin was the Colts assistant head coach and offensive line coach during the 2016-17 season, McAfee's final season in the NFL.

McAfee will be working with play-by-play announcer Justin Kutcher, color commentator Robert Smith and sideline reporter Sarah Kustok.

The former punter said he's looking forward to attending meetings and a walkthrough in preparation for the game. The Twitter jokester seems to be taking the job seriously, but he still plans on having fun in the booth.

“I have a different attitude towards it,” McAfee said “I think it should be a show — I think they’ve started to make it too serious.”
