Home/NFL

I have some strengths, some weaknesses.” Kevin Burkhardt’s self-presentation is just as cute as his NFL Sunday punditry. Not only is the voice over man a familiar figure in the sporting broadcasting world, but he’s also a devoted father with a way of juggle touchdowns and tea parties. Kevin’s life is anchored in a dream family behind the scenes: his wife and two children.

Who are Kevin Burkhardt’s sons and daughter?

Any good QB has a good offensive line and Burkhardt’s sons Logan and Brook cover it for him. Kevin’s son Logan may not be calling plays on the field, but already he’s demonstrating team spirit. Be it to follow his dad to games, or experience the rush of NFL Sundays, Logan appears to have been a product of his father’s sporting passion.

Brook, on the other hand, adds a bit of swagger to the familial tangle. Consider her the Tyreek Hill of the Burkhardt household: quick, unpredictable and a sparky little thing. Kevin’s a social media user who likes to post glimpses of family life, but is careful about keeping his kids’ lives confidential.

It may be that the Burkhardts haven’t got their own reality TV show (yet), but they are living proof that family comes first even in the frenzied environment of NFL television. Kevin’s life is always a juggle, between school run and commentary, and his kids keep him on track.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Kevin Burkhardt the ultimate family man, or does his career steal the spotlight?

Have an interesting take?

As Kevin might put it in a game: “They’re a dynamic duo, running the clock down on dad’s free time, but always coming through in the clutch..” It’s not just his kids making life complete for the announcer, he also has a strong partner in his wife.

Kevin’s wife: Match made in broadcast heaven

Kevin and his wife Rachel Burkhardt are the perfect Hallmark romance—college buddies, a broadcasting love and a shaky bond that’s only gotten stronger with time. They had met at William Paterson University, Rachel was an audio technician in the TV truck, and Kevin was the freshly shaved football announcer. If there were a love-at-first-sight ratio on TV, these two would be at the top of the list.

Now fast-forward to 10 June 2000, when they sealed the deal and were an unstoppable pair. Since then, Rachel has been Kevin’s biggest supporter, offering advice and guidance during any career crossroads. As Kevin himself put it, “I’m a little bit of a goofball, a little bit of a nerd. I have my own sense of humor. And I’m just me.”

The Burkhardts make the world a better place when they’re not winning marriages. In 2019, they established the Kevin and Rachel Burkhardt Scholarship at William Paterson University. The campaign gives budding journalists and communicators the opportunity to follow their own dream—because who better to coach future broadcasters than a couple who have?

And, oh, their international travels. In 2017, the Burkhardts landed in London, and Kevin reported with pride on Instagram: “First time in London. We have so much to do!” From visiting the sights to watching the NFL, this couple definitely knows how to enjoy every moment.

A behind-the-scenes look at NFL announcer Kevin Burkhardt’s life, exploring his inspiring partnership with his wife and the family that keeps him grounded. In the words of Kevin himself: “You can’t write a better playbook than this one, folks. A power couple on and off the field!”
