Two former NFL standouts land new gigs with FOX Sports

This will give the network some serious credibility.

Former NFL standouts in linebacker James Laurinaitis and receiver Braylon Edwards have found their next job outside of the league. They'll be joining FOX Sports as college football analysts:

Laurinaitis was a three-time Consensus All-American at Ohio State and Edwards was a two-time First Team All-Big Ten player at Michigan. He also made a Pro Bowl in 2007 playing for the Cleveland Browns. And it sounds like the former Buckeye had a fantastic screen test as Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman said Laurinaitis had the best screen test he's ever seen during Monday's press conference.
