There will be plenty of former New Orleans Saints on the airwaves this fall, with Drew Brees and Jonathan Vilma calling games for FOX Sports while their former teammate Mark Ingram II works for the network as a studio analyst for the high-profile Big Noon Kickoff college football show. Another Saints great, Roman Harper, has a heavy presence on the SEC Network for ESPN. And Saints fans won't have to wait long to see Vilma on their screens again. The Saints great and Super Bowl XLIV champion has been assigned to his old team's regular season kickoff game against the Detroit Lions .
Here's more on Vilma and his broadcast team from the official release :
Kenny Albert , an original FOX NFL broadcaster (1994) and the network’s longest-tenured game announcer, embarks on his 33rd season in 2026, marking his seventh consecutive year with Super Bowl champion and Pro Bowl linebacker Jonathan Vilma , who arrived at FOX Sports in 2020. Veteran reporter Megan Olivi is back with the duo for her third full NFL season. The crew heads to Detroit in Week 1 for the New Orleans Saints at Detroit Lions at 1:00 PM ET.
Vilma, 44, led the Saints to their championship victory in Super Bowl XLIV after arriving in a trade with the New York Jets. He and Brees were known for matching wits at practice and challenging each other's units to win the day, so it's fitting that they're both calling NFL games for the same network.
