Phil Simms

Phil Simms, a two-time Super Bowl champion and NFL MVP, transitioned from a celebrated quarterback for the New York Giants to a respected career as an NFL analyst and sportscaster. He now shares his extensive football knowledge and insights with national audiences. After being famously drafted seventh overall by the New York Giants in the 1979 NFL Draft, Phil Simms quickly established himself as a formidable quarterback. During his collegiate career, he completed 409 passes for 5,545 yards and 32 touchdowns.

He joined ESPN as an analyst in 1995, before moving to NBC’s lead broadcast crew that same year. In 1998, he became the lead game analyst for CBS, a role he held for many years, providing expert commentary on NFL broadcasts. Simms also served as host of ‘Inside the NFL’ on Showtime starting in 2009. His enduring impact on the sport was further recognized with his induction into the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.

Following the conclusion of his CBS contract in 2024, Simms diversified his media presence, joining Westwood One as an analyst for select games and becoming a weekly guest on WFAN’s ‘Boomer and Gio.’ He will also return to NBC Sports as a college football analyst in 2025. His legacy is further honored, with Morehead State preparing to rename its football venue as Phil Simms Stadium in 2025.
