Rex Ryan will join ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown this week to help break down Super Bowl LI.

"Rex is a great personality and has a unique perspective," ESPN senior coordinating producer Seth Markman told Sports Business Daily. "He knows the Patriots really well. He's raring to go."

Sports Business Daily reports that CBS, Fox and NFL Network also reached out to Ryan to serve as an analyst following his firing in December.

Ryan was fired by the Buffalo Bills during the 2016 season.
