After working at ESPN as a rules analyst on Monday Night Football since 2019, former NFL referee John Parry is returning to the league in a new role.
Parry confirmed to Ben Austro of FootballZebras.com that he has accepted a position as an officiating liaison for an NFL team, though he didn't reveal the franchise he'll be working for because he doesn't want to get ahead of the official announcement.
He will be serving as an advisor to the team's coaching staff on rules matters and replay decisions.
"Officials look at the game so differently than players, coaches, and fans," Parry said.
