Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has never hidden his love for football, and now he’s making it official with a new NFL-focused show. Announced last week, Green’s latest project, Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football?, will debut on Instagram Live with episodes airing on Thursdays to align with Thursday Night Football. Joining him will be co-host Jordan Schultz, NFL insider for Bleacher Report, who will bring his expertise as they tackle weekly games, predictions, and analysis.
Green’s football knowledge has already sparked interest. Recently, he made headlines after accurately predicting the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 32-13 victory over the Raiders, which led to rapper Symba publicly admitting he’d underestimated Draymond’s football acumen. Green couldn’t resist responding with a good-natured dig, captioning Symba’s post with, “The delusion was crazy.”
Draymond, who dabbled in football before his NBA career, seems perfectly at ease transitioning to football commentary. Recently, he revealed his NFL comparison, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, describing Warner as “the best linebacker in the NFL” and drawing parallels between Warner’s leadership on defense and his own on-court persona.
Green’s move into the NFL media scene aligns with his long-term goals. Alongside his established Draymond Green Show and occasional appearances on NBA on TNT, he’s positioning himself as a multi-sport commentator. “Getting to see the inside work of an insider that I don’t often get to see as a player,” he said, “is a very fun part of this show for me.”
So, is Draymond the next big NFL voice? With his engaging personality and passion for the game, fans are eager to find out. His success in the NBA shows he knows how to break down strategy and energize fans—qualities that might make him a unique addition to NFL commentary. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
