Taylor Lewan and Will Compton Bring "Bussin’ With The Boys" to ESPN
Big news in the sports media world—two familiar names from the Tennessee Titans, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, are taking their talents to ESPN this football season. The duo, who co-host the hit podcast Bussin’ With The Boys , will now be appearing regularly on ESPN’s morning show Get Up with Mike Greenberg, starting September 4th. And it won’t stop there. Their presence will expand across ESPN’s platforms, including SportsCenter and other studio programming, bringing their energy, humor, and locker-room storytelling to a national audience.
What makes this move exciting is the way Lewan and Compton have built their brand. Their podcast, which began in 2019 under Barstool Sports, has grown into a cultural force of its own, especially among football fans. Since going independent earlier this year, they’ve struck a reported $30 million deal with FanDuel, picked up a Bud Light sponsorship, and added side projects like a college football podcast with Josh Pate and a new betting show alongside former Titan Delanie Walker. Their reach on social media is impressive too, with hundreds of thousands of followers engaging with their content daily.

ESPN clearly sees the value in that momentum. Burke Magnus, ESPN’s content president, even highlighted the unique chemistry the two bring and how naturally they connect with fans. That’s exactly the kind of spark ESPN wants on Get Up —a show built on sharp analysis but also personality-driven banter. Lewan and Compton themselves have said they’re fired up for the opportunity, explaining that at the heart of what they do, it’s about two guys who love football and love telling stories. Now, those stories get to be told on the biggest stage in sports media.
For context, Taylor Lewan was drafted in the first round by the Titans back in 2014 and went on to become a three-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle. Will Compton, meanwhile, carved out a career as a linebacker, playing for five different NFL teams and having two stints with the Titans in 2018 and 2020. Neither will be suiting up on Sundays anymore, but instead, they’ll be suiting up for television, blending analysis with entertainment.
And here’s what makes it interesting: they’re not abandoning Bussin’ With The Boys —they’re bringing that same raw, authentic vibe directly into ESPN’s more traditional format. That combination of polished production and podcast-style chemistry is what could set this apart from other guest appearances we’ve seen.
So starting this fall, fans won’t just hear Lewan and Compton breaking down plays or interviewing star athletes on their bus-turned-studio. They’ll see them live on ESPN, contributing to the national football conversation, and doing it their own way. It’s another example of how former players are reshaping sports media—not just as analysts, but as personalities with their own platforms and loyal audiences already in place.
This season, Get Up won’t just be about Greeny and the usual crew. It’ll have a little bit of that Bussin’ With The Boys flavor—unfiltered, entertaining, and rooted in a genuine love for the game.
