Instant Patriots legend Troy Brown is out of football and into the Comcast SportsNet studio, according to a release from the regional sports network. Brown enters a crowded marketplace for ex-players and will need to be sharp from the outset with probing and prodding Mike Felger on his wing.

Debut is tonight at 10 p.m. on CSN (put that DVR to work, folks. BIG night of boobtube):

VERSATILE FORMER PATRIOT AND THREE TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPION TROY BROWN
JOINS COMCAST SPORTSNET AS NFL ANALYST

15-Year-Veteran Paired with Gary Tanguay and Michael Felger on Mohegan
Sun Sports Tonight

BURLINGTON, MA – Selected in the eighth round of the 1993 NFL draft,
Troy Brown proved to be Mr. Versatility during his 15 prosperous years
as a New England Patriots wide receiver, return man and part-time
defensive back. Comcast SportsNet will rely on his high football IQ to
provide unmatched local NFL analysis.

Brown, 36, joins the Mohegan Sun Sports Tonight program which airs
Monday through Friday live, twice-a-night at 6:30 and 10 p.m. In
addition to his in-studio work, Brown will focus on feature pieces from
Gillette Stadium involving the Patriots and its players during the week.
Brown will make his first appearance tonight at 10 p.m.

“I have been asked to do many things during my football career and I
believe that my experience in all facets of the game will provide a
great foundation for providing what I hope to be expert analysis on the
team,” said Brown. “It feels like my rookie year all over again. I look
forward to the challenge as I embark on this new career and as I
continue my fifteen year relationship with this great community and
team.”

“Troy Brown is a great addition to Comcast SportsNet’s Patriots
coverage. Given his on-field versatility, there is perhaps no former
player more qualified to provide the type of insight and analysis that
fans covet,” said Bill Bridgen, Comcast SportsNet executive vice
president and general manager.
