The NFL has a new superstar in the making.
The San Francisco 49ers announced Thursday that former NFL quarterback Michael Crabtree, who played for the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, has been hired as an analyst on the new NBC Sports and NFL Network, according to a statement released by the league.
Crabtree is the latest NFL star to land a television job, following fellow former player Eric Berry and former player Matt Prater.
He will work with former NFL defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who also worked with the Patriots last season.
Crabbtree, 33, joins an already stacked NFL coaching staff with Tom Coughlin and Dan Quinn in New York.
The 49ers were already working with former 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh as well.
The 49ers, who will play in the first ever Super Bowl, have not won a playoff game since 2013.
They will host the Patriots in New Orleans on Sunday.
