Former NFL quarterback and standout NCAA football player, Jesse Palmer, returns to Canada as an NFL analyst on TSN. A native of Nepean, Ont., Palmer offers analysis and commentary from a former player's perspective in his weekly SportsCentre segment, Monday Morning Quarterback.

Palmer is also writing a weekly NFL column on TSN.ca and will be on site in Phoenix to provide coverage of Super Bowl XLII alongside fellow TSN football analyst Chris Schultz and host Rod Smith.

In addition, Palmer brings his celebrity status to CTV's daily entertainment newsmagazine, eTalk, as the show's New York-based entertainment correspondent. Non-football fans might recognize Palmer from his high-profile TV days as the star of Season 5 of The Bachelor.

Coinciding with his work at TSN and CTV, Palmer is also currently working in the U.S. as a studio analyst for ESPN's college football coverage. His prior broadcasting career includes stints as a studio analyst for NFL on FOX and NFL Network's coverage of the 2007 NFL Draft.

Palmer played five seasons in the NFL, four with the NY Giants and one with the San Francisco 49ers. Prior to the NFL, Palmer had a successful college career with the University of Florida Gators. His 3,755 career passing yards and 31 career touchdowns rank eighth and ninth respectively in Gators' history. Palmer also made appearances in the Citrus, Orange and Sugar Bowls.
