Gannon went from being a journeyman backup quarterback for the first 12 years of his career to magnificently orchestrating head coach Jon Gruden’s offense with the Oakland Raiders. He was a two-time first-team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowl selection while in Oakland, helping the Raiders advance to Super Bowl XXXVII (which they lost to Tampa Bay) in 2002.

Shortly after, the struggling Raiders were dismantled with Gannon being a casualty of that demolition job. Almost immediately after retiring, Gannon joined CBS Sports as an NFL game analyst, a job he kept until February 2021.
