Nate Burleson explains why he’s leaving ‘Good Morning Football’ in heartfelt speech

For five years, Nate Burleson has been behind the big Good Morning Football desk every morning with Kay Adams, Peter Schrager and Kyle Brandt to talk all things NFL (and outside of the league).

On Wednesday, CBS announced that the host and analyst on The NFL Today will be joining CBS This Morning with Gayle King and Tony Dokoupil in September.

Burleson — a former NFL wide receiver — addressed the move on the air during Wednesday’s GMFB in a heartfelt speech, noting how tough the decision was and how he’ll be back on the show on occasion but not every day.

“It’s not goodbye,” he said. “It’s just, I’ll see you later.”
