Who is SNF commentator Cris Collinsworth and why are NFL fans concerned? 

Cris Collinsworth, the Cooper Kupp of the '80s and one of the most accomplished broadcasters in NFL history, has been around longer than you can imagine. His name certainly rings a bell among real NFL fans.

The former first-team college football All-American, three-time Pro Bowler, and University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame member has been a mainstay in the broadcasting business for over four decades.

But, lately, ardent NFL supporters have become concerned about the broadcaster. Let's discuss why they have been concerned.

Why are NFL fans concerned about Chris Collinsworth?

Old NFL fans might remember Chris Collinsworth as the fresh face wide receiver of the Cincinnati Bengals who surpassed 1,000 receivingf yards four times (in 1981, 1983, 1985, and 1986) and was named to the Pro Bowl in 1981, 1982, and 1983 seasons.

Others might remember him not so fondly due to his second-quarter fumble in Super Bowl XVI, which turned the tide of the deciding game.

However, new viewers are concerned about the potential Hall of Fame broadcaster's recent appearance and hoarse voice during a live commentary. It was especially prevalent in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus Dallas Cowboys game in Week 1 of the new NFL season.

Collinsworth's co-commentator was just as bothered, prompting him to assure him that there was no problem and that he felt great. This confirmation relieved onlookers all over the NFL landscape. No one wants to see a resilient battling ram down!
