Charles Davis Looks to Build His Own Legacy Replacing Gary Danielson at CBS
"Our chemistry comes from his goodness as a human being. The same goes for Jenny Dell and the rest of this CBS Sports crew. I could not have had a better welcome to this team." The post Charles Davis Looks to Build His Own Legacy Replacing Gary Danielson at CBS appeared first on Barrett Media.
Charles Davis is set to replace Gary Danielson as the top analyst for CBS Sports, marking a new era for the network in both NFL and college football broadcasts. Danielson, who spent 36 years on television, completed his 20th season with CBS following the 2025 NFL season. Davis, previously a lead analyst for TBS and FOX Sports, expressed his gratitude to Danielson, noting the support and camaraderie they shared.
He also highlighted his new partnership with play-by-play announcer Brad Nessler, recalling their earlier conversation when Nessler encouraged Davis to work in the industry. The transition was made more special by the fact that Davis was being entrusted with Danielson's role just before the latter's retirement. Davis, who had shifted from NFL games to a new team in college football last year, admitted to the pressure of joining a high-profile position but found support in Nessler's professionalism and chemistry.
He also discussed his decision to step away from social media in 2020, citing criticism as a factor. Now, Davis focuses on weekly reviews of his broadcasts with his production crew, aiming for continuous improvement. In 2026, Davis also left the NFL Network, marking a significant change in his broadcasting career.
