In celebration of the NFL's 100 season, the NFL Media Group produced a suite of programming that pays tribute to the people, players, coaches, memories and moments that have, and continue to contribute to the NFL's legacy. The NFL's All-Time Team anchored NFL 100-themed programming and content premiering across the NFL's television and digital platforms in the fall of 2019. Charged with unveiling the highest echelon of players and coaches spanning the league's 100-year history, NFL Media enlisted an iconic trio whose experience collectively spans more than five decades. NFL Network and DIRECTV Audience Network host Rich Eisen joins NBC's Sunday Night Football game analyst Cris Collinsworth and eight-time Super Bowl Champion head coach Bill Belichick as hosts of The NFL's All-Time Team. Over six episodes, Eisen, Collinsworth and Belichick were joined by special guests to discuss the results of a 26-person blue ribbon panel tasked with crowning the NFL's All-Time Team -- the roster of 100 players and 10 coaches named "The Greatest" in their respective positions.
