Louis was drafted in the 9th round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. His NFL career, which had spanned over a decade, saw him play for 7 different NFL franchise.
After announcing his retirement in 2001, the 56-year-old ESPN football analyst worked as a pro scout for Washington Redskins for three years. He was later promoted to Washington Redskins’ Director of pro personnel.
In 2008, he was hired by Philadelphia Eagles as a pro scout. Between 2010 to 2013, the University of Pittsburgh alum served as Philadelphia Eagles’ Director of pro personnel.
13 years after retiring from football, Louis joined ESPN as a football analyst in May 2013. He has been with the network ever since. In the beginning, Louis was a studio analyst. But after spending almost years with the network, around the first half of 2018, his role was expanded to appear on ESPN's Monday Night Football. As per the new role, Louis was to travel to the game sites and impart his insights for the halftime as well as post-game analysis. And at the same time, he kept his previous roles in the network's other shows like NFL Live, Sunday NFL Countdown, NFL Matchup etc.
Senior coordinating producer for the network's NFL studio shows, Seth Markman, praised him on his extraordinary analytical skills and insights in the game as he announced Louis's increased involvement for ESPN.
Every day Louis is on ESPN, he makes viewers smarter about football. He has earned this opportunity to expand his already prominent role, and our MNF audience will benefit from his insights, analysis and perspective.
The change also meant a renewed multiyear contract for Louis, and obviously a higher salary. About which, ESPN reportedly compensates Louis with six-figure salary for his services. His peer at ESPN Chris Berman commands a salary of more than 5 million per annum and Louis, being one of the finest analysts with ESPN, must also command a similar figure.
