It has been a few weeks since former NFL star running back DeMarco Murray announced his retirement from the league after seven seasons, but it hasn't taken him long to find his next career path.

According to Barry Horn of The Dallas Morning News, Murray is reportedly set to join the broadcast crew for Fox as a college football analyst for the 2018 season.

This should be a quick transition Murray as it gives him the opportunity to stay around the game but in the media realm as a broadcaster. It has become a trend over the last few years with former players getting their shot right out the door of their respective careers to get into the booth without any true years of experience with that type of gig. This has been the case with a couple of ex-Dallas Cowboys teammates in Tony Romo, who is working with CBS Sports covering the NFL, and Jason Witten, who has landed an analyst gig for ESPN's Monday Night Football.

Murray will have the opportunity to learn on the fly while he has plenty of experience at both the NFL and collegiate level to lean on for his first-hand expertise with the game of football. He had spent four years at the University of Oklahoma where he had experienced much success along with giving him the full understanding of the rigors that come with playing in college. There haven't been any details yet in terms of what games he will cover and what conference he will commentate.

If anything, this is a clear signal that he is officially retired and moving on to the next chapter of his life in the broadcast booth. Murray played with the Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Tennessee Titans over his NFL career where he rushed for 7.,174  yards and 49 total touchdowns while earning three Pro Bowl selections, a First-Team All-Pro nod, and an NFL Offensive Player of the Year award.
