JJ Watt Joins CBS Sports as Lead NFL Analyst Ahead of Super Bowl LXII

JJ Watt has been named the lead analyst for CBS Sports' primary NFL broadcast team, which includes Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson. This new role positions him to commentate at Super Bowl LXII, scheduled for next season.

Watt joined CBS Sports in 2023 as a studio analyst and transitioned to the announcer's booth in 2025. His first major assignment in the lead role will coincide with the Bears' tribute to Mike Ditka during their game against the Patriots, marking the team's first home game since Ditka's passing.

The Patriots face injury challenges with two starting guards ruled out, while the Bears will be without Kyle Monangai for the third consecutive game. The matchup is anticipated to be competitive, with various analysts offering differing predictions on the outcome.
