LAS VEGAS — ESPN College GameDay Analyst and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit will not be taking part in this year's NFL draft coverage due to a health issue.
Herbstreit said in a Twitter video on Monday that doctors recently found a blood clot in his system.
He added he feels "good," but has decided to take a step back from this year's draft coverage out of an "abundance of caution."
Herbstreit said in part, "Our team in Vegas will have it covered, and I will be watching. Congrats to all the players! I love this event and look forward to returning next year."
Originally from Centerville, Herbstreit served as quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes from 1989-92. He graduated from The Ohio State University in 1993 with a degree in business administration and went on to be hailed as one of the "Most Powerful Media Personalities in Sports" by Sporting News magazine, among other accomplishments.
