From FOX News:

McAfee, 34, retired as punter for the Colts in 2016 after eight seasons. McAfee was an All-Pro at his position, so his retirement came as a surprise. He’s managed to build a huge brand, however, joining Barstool Sports in 2016 and launching The Pat McAfee Show.

McAfee left the company in 2018 but launched his own company, Pat McAfee Inc. from his office in Indianapolis. The Show airs Monday-Friday from noon-3 p.m. on SIRIUS XM Channel 82 Mad Dog Radio and simulcasts on YouTube. The show has gained more exposure with the weekly appearance of Packer’s quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Other notable guests on the show have included NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, UFC president Dana White, comedian Bill Burr etc. McAfee’s YouTube page has 1.57 million followers.

He is also one of the commentators on Smackdown alongside Michael Cole. It is unknown at this time if this new deal will effect his duties in WWE.

Joe Pompliano is also reporting that McAfee donated $6 million of it on Day 1 to youth programs, children’s hospitals, domestic violence shelters & other charities.

Pat McAfee starting his own show & signing a ~$30M annual deal with FanDuel is wild.

But the fact that he donated $6M of it on Day 1 to youth programs, children's hospitals, domestic violence shelters & other charities makes it that much more amazing.

Congrats @PatMcAfeeShow!
