Riddick has been an ESPN NFL analyst since 2013.Riddick was a ninth-round selection in the 1991 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers and played six NFL seasons between stints with the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, and Oakland Raiders.
After his career was over, Riddick worked as a scout and in various front office roles for Washington before moving to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008. He was most recently the Eagles' director of pro personnel from 2010 through '13. Riddick has interviewed for several front-office roles since joining ESPN.
