Brett Favre Reportedly 'Was Not Great' During Monday Night Football Tryout

Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre reportedly struggled in a recent audition to replace Jon Gruden as an analyst for Monday Night Football.  

According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, sources said Favre was "not great" during the ESPN tryout.

Favre was reportedly told that he is no longer under consideration for the job.

Per Marchand, several others are scheduled for auditions or have already taken part in them. The list includes former NFL head coach Rex Ryan, former NFL defensive tackle Booger McFarland, former NFL quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Matt Hasselbeck, former NFL executive Louis Riddick and recently retired NFL offensive tackle Joe Thomas.

Current NFL tight ends Greg Olsen and Jason Witten were also brought in for tryouts.

ESPN pushed hard for former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning to take the role after Gruden left to become the Oakland Raiders' head coach, but Marchand reported in March that the future Hall of Famer declined.

Although Favre has limited broadcasting experience, he is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history.

The 48-year-old won three NFL MVP awards and one Super Bowl, and he ranks second all time in both career passing yardage and passing touchdowns behind only Manning.
