Donovan also played for the Washington Redskins and the Minnesota Vikings before re-signing with Philadelphia and retiring with the team who drafted him.
Now a seasoned NFL analyst, Donovan began his broadcasting career when he joined the NFL Network as an analyst during the 2012 season. He joined the beIN SPORTS College Football team before this season.
