Cris Collinsworth builds wealth through broadcasting and sports analytics

NBC lead analyst Cris Collinsworth has built significant wealth through both his broadcasting career and a major business venture in sports analytics. While earning an estimated $12.5 million annually for his work on ‘Sunday Night Football’, Collinsworth has also benefited from a substantial fortune tied to Pro Football Focus (PFF).

The business originated from the efforts of Neil Hornsby, an Englishman obsessed with the NFL. Frustrated by the lack of granular data in traditional box scores, Hornsby began grading player contributions on every snap. This pursuit of detailed statistics, which moved beyond simple yardage and tackles to evaluate individual matchups, eventually evolved into a major enterprise.
