New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees led the league with 4,952 passing yards this season, but he failed to lead the Saints to the playoffs. Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson helped the Cardinals reach the postseason for the first time since the 2009 season, but Arizona was bounced in the first round by the Panthers.
Actor and comedian JB Smoove, who notably plays Leon on Curb Your Enthusiasm, will also join the show.
Sports Illustrated NFL writers Don Banks and Aaron Nagler will be on set to break down Super Bowl XLIX.
