Fox Sports’ Daryl Johnston, an NFL game analyst for Fox Sports dating back to 2001, will be joining NFL Network’s NFL Total Access show as a studio analyst. Earlier this year, Johnston was part of NFL Network’s coverage for the Super Bowl XLVIII selection so he was comfortable in deciding to work there as well. “Moose” as he was known during his playing days with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990’s, will start his NFL Network sojourn on Thursday and be utilized mostly in the studio. Although he would a very nice replacement for game analyst Matt Millen who was the big bucket of suck last season. Anyway, here’s the press release from NFL Network.
