Biography

Football career

In his senior year at the University of Pittsburgh, May received the Outland Trophy as the nation's top collegiate interior lineman. The university retired May's number (73) in 2001, and he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005.^[1]

May was drafted with the 20th pick of the first round of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, where he played until 1990 and won two Super Bowls -- XVII and XXII -- as a member of the famed "Hogs" offensive line. He was named one of the 70 greatest Redskins of all time.^[2]

Following his tenure with the Redskins, May played for the San Diego Chargers (1991) and Arizona Cardinals (1992–93) before his retirement in 1993.

Broadcasting career

In 1995, May was hired by TNT as a studio analyst on its Sunday Night Football broadcasts. In 1997, May became a game analyst for the Sunday Night Football broadcasts on TNT^[3]. After TNT lost the broadcasting rights to Sunday Night Football following the 1997 season, May joined CBS Sports in 1998 as a game analyst for its NFL coverage from 1998–2000.

In 2001, May joined ESPN as a football analyst and commentator, specializing in college football. He is currently a regular on the popular College Football Scoreboard and College Football Final as well as appearing on pregame, halftime, and postgame coverage during the season, and on College Football Live in the off-season, and offers analysis on ESPN2 and ESPNews. He was also present in the NFL Live studio throughout the entire 2007 NFL Draft.

In 2005, he wrote Mark May's Tales from the Washington Redskins, a book detailing his experiences with the Washington Redskins.
