How many Pro Bowl punters or former NFL special teamers could you name off the top of your head right now?
Regardless of the number, one thing’s for sure: Pat McAfee will be one of the first that comes to mind.
McAfee found success with the Indianapolis Colts before becoming a signature face in the sports media community.
He took his talents to Barstool Sports before pursuing a career on his own, and his show — The Pat McAfee Show — has become a must-watch for sports fans all over the world.
That’s why several fans are speculating after the news broke of Pat reportedly being ready to walk away from a massive deal with FanDuel TV.
Something seemed fishy when he was initially announced as a front-facing big name for FanDuel TV and then vanished from those plans… https://t.co/FtHo3KewAx

McAfee signed a four-year, $120 million deal with FanDuel, but it became public knowledge that he already had meetings with Amazon about a potential partnership.
The former Pro Bowler has repeatedly hinted at “something big” coming for the show, most likely meaning a new massive deal with an even bigger sponsor.
Google and YouTube seem like obvious fits after making a major investment to acquire the rights for NFL Sunday Ticket.
Apple, albeit not the most obvious fit, should also not be out of the question, and even ESPN could be in the running for him.
The Pat McAfee Show has become popular for his unapologetic style, not to mention Aaron Rodgers’ weekly appearances and controversial remarks.
So, we might not know what’s going on, but we can be sure that this guy is up to something big indeed.
