Under a multi-year deal, Sharp will provide live reports across the network’s weekday and weekend programming.
He will cover the regular NFL season in addition to playoffs appearing on Ferrall Coast to Coast, Pro Football Today and In-Game Live All Access. His reports will include commentary and breaking news, as well as betting opportunities.
Adam Kaplan, Chief Operating Officer at SportsGrid, commented: “We are elated to welcome Warren Sharp to the SportsGrid team just in time for the start of the NFL season.
“Warren’s well-known insights and deep analysis of the NFL teams, players and betting markets have developed his reputation as one of the foremost experts in the sports betting industry.”
Sharp, who previously worked for NBC Sports, will now headline the network’s talent roster, which includes Scott Ferrall, Craig Mish, Gabe Morency, Ben Stevens, Kevin Walsh and Andrew Andersson.
Alongside his hosting and appearance duties, Sharp will contribute to SportsGrid’s new app launch, as well as the network’s social media strategy. To this end, he will make picks and post betting-related video content on his and SportsGrid’s social media channels.
“When I look at the future of sports gambling coverage, I see SportsGrid as an outstanding place to reach the fans who want the NFL insight I provide on a regular basis,” Sharp said.
“SportsGrid’s content strategy gives me the freedom to provide that information with the personality and style that I believe resonates with NFL fans and particularly NFL fans who gamble.”
This comes not long after SportsGrid launched on FuboTV.
