Adam Schefter Biography

Adam Schefter is the Senior NFL Insider at ESPN and has been dubbed “The Most Prolific NFL Insider Ever” by longtime media reporter Andrew Marchand. He is host of the Adam Schefter Podcast.

He joined ESPN as an NFL Insider in August 2009, and now appears on a variety of programs, including NFL Live, Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, SportsCenter and more throughout the year. He also hosts his own ESPN Audio podcast, “The Adam Schefter Podcast”, and regularly contributes to other ESPN platforms, such as ESPN.com and ESPN Radio. His reporting is consumed by millions of NFL fans on his and ESPN’s social media channels, and his connections, tenacity and breaking news prowess adds to the growth and reach of the ESPN brand.

Due to the demands of his job, Schefter always has two phones nearby and now is considered the first commentator in broadcasting — sports, news or any other genre — to popularize using his device while on television during show appearances to break stories in real-time.

One of the top sports reporters in the country, Schefter has covered the NFL since 1990, and his social media influence is unmatched in the industry. Currently, Schefter has almost 15 million combined followers, including over 11 million on Twitter, nearly two million on Instagram, another one million plus on Facebook, and a half-million more on Threads.

Schefter’s reporting expands well beyond breaking news. He has been a sideline reporter for ESPN’s NFL wild-card games, as well as some NBA games, including the NBA playoffs. He has done other features for Countdown, including a personal story about his family’s connection to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks that led to a book on the subject.

Before joining ESPN, Schefter was a reporter/analyst for NFL Network from 2004-08, and a sportswriter for more than 15 years for the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News, where he covered the NFL and the Denver Broncos team that won back-to-back Super Bowls. He was the Colorado Sports Writer of the Year in 2002 and 2003, and frequently appeared on ESPN’s Around the Horn and the Sports Reporters during his time with the Post.

A former president of the Pro Football Writers of America, Schefter also has authored five books. His most recent, "The Man I Never Met: A Memoir" — co-authored with Sports Illustrated writer Michael Rosenberg — is a powerful story of loss and hope, centered around his family and the memory of his wife Sharri’s first husband, Joe Maio, who died in the September 11 terror attacks.

Schefter’s other titles include "Romo: My Life on the Edge Living Dreams" and "Slaying Dragons" about former Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski, which reached the New York Times bestseller list. Schefter also wrote books with former Broncos head coach and two-time Super Bowl champion Mike Shanahan and former Super Bowl MVP Terrell Davis. Schefter’s other book, The Class of Football: Words of Hard-Earned Wisdom from Legends of the Gridiron, was released in August 2009.
