Popular NFL analyst and former NFL player, Pat McAfee is planning on making a big purchase that will make him touch the clouds like Iron Man. McAfee is one of the lucky few who have carved a successful career out of their retirement from the league. After 8 years as a punter in NFL, McAfee diverted to the role of an analyst. He recently shared his desire to own a jet pack in a YouTube video.

On his self-hosted YouTube channel, Pat McAfee and former NFL player AJ Hawk shared an interaction about a jet pack. The popular sports analyst seemed genuinely interested in owning one.

Pat McAfee on buying a Jet Pack

The former NFL player has been examining jet pack companies to buy one. However, he also shared that the potential risks of a jet pack have hindered the purchase. 

McAfee shared on his self-hosted Youtube channel, “I have seen jet packs in the past I’ve thought about buying them yeah, I would love to be able to do the Iron Man thing yeah, and just get up and out there”. McAfee also added that he wasn’t scared to fly.

But the former NFL player has a reason to stay away from jet packs as well. He said,  “let’s say I do good what says that that jet pack isn’t going to just blow up”. Although he isn’t scared to fly high, the analyst does value his life. However, as an NFL analyst with Disney-owned ESPN, McAfee is raking in millions, so it will be a piece of cake for him to own a jet pack if he wants to.

Pat McAfee’s ongoing stint with ESPN

The former NFL player is on a lucrative deal with ESPN. Apart from hosting his show “The Pat McAfee Show”, McAfee works as a host for the popular football show “College GameDay”. McAfee’s post-retirement stints have gained him more popularity than his NFL career. 

Moreover, he is on a 5-year deal with ESPN that is worth $85 million. The deal grants rights to his “Pat McAfee show” to ESPN, and the show will further air on ESPN’s cable channel and the network’s YouTube channel. Considering how ESPN is terminating its contracts with veteran NFL analysts like Max Kellerman, Pat McAfee seems to be doing quite well.
