The 34-year-old Griffin, a Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback, joined ESPN in 2021. He was regularly featured on programming but was set to be replaced by former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce on “Monday Night Countdown” this upcoming season.
In a post Thursday
on X, Griffin said he was “thankful” for the people at ESPN, who helped him
“grow” because “they are some of the best in the business.”
“From the broadcast booth to the studio and ESPECIALLY the
people many of you never see behind the camera,” Griffin wrote.
“They are the REAL MVPs and sacrifice so much time with
their families just to ensure people like myself in front of the camera even
have the opportunity to shine.
“There were so many awesome experiences and moments that my
family and I will never forget from the last 3 years.
“What people sometimes fail to realize is none of this is
possible without you guys, the FANS. So THANK YOU to everyone who has supported
my family through my playing days and broadcast career so far.
“We love you guys and will continue to seek and defend the
truth while telling athletes’ stories the right way.”
Ponder, who has been with ESPN since 2011, has most recently
hosted “NFL Sunday Countdown.”
