Jac Collinsworth is an American sportscaster who has worked with some of the biggest sports broadcast corporations. He has been in the broadcasting business for under 10 years.

This tenacity and ability to think outside the box have helped him cover a wider array of sports than Gridiron. It has also firmly helped him entrench his name as one of the more popular Gridiron TV hosts today.

However, it would be discourteous to state that Jac Collinsworth did not have a leg up in his broadcasting journey. He happens to be the son of former Pro Bowl wide receiver and Cincinnati Bengals legend Cris Collinsworth.

Does Jac Collinsworth still work with ESPN?

Jac Collinsworth attended the University of Notre Dame, honing his skills as a journalist, broadcaster, and television host before graduating in 2017. He carved up a nice niche for himself and entered the labor market with a CV that would impress even the staunchest of detractors.

So guess who came calling. Yes, ESPN, a major sports broadcasting company, approached Collinsworth first following his graduation from college. He took the job, taking positions as a feature reporter for Sunday NFL Countdown and, in 2018, started hosting NFL Live during the NFL offseason. He also hosted the ACC Network's premier football show, The Huddle.

The young sportscaster brought a bright youthful feel to the stagnated ESPN broadcast roster and made his presence felt in each segment that he appeared on. However, following his three-year contract completion, Cris Collinsworth's son returned to NBC, a company he worked for while in college.


What has Jac's father, Cris Collinsworth, been up to?

Cris Collinsworth is the father of Jac Collinsworth and three other children with his wife, Holly (Bankemper) Collinsworth. The Cincinnati Bengals legend has recently been working as a television sportscaster for NBC, Showtime, and the NFL Network.

Cris Collinsworth is living his best life and enjoying a richly deserved playing retirement. He is one of the most popular broadcasters in today's internet-centric broadcasting landscape. He joins names like Skip Bayless, Shannon Sharpe, and Stephen A. Smith.

The veteran likes spending time with his wife and kids when he's not working, and he also serves as the majority owner of Pro Football Focus.
