Anish Shroff is the first minority play-by-play radio voice in the NFL after the Carolina Panthers hired him.
On Tuesday, the team announced the hiring of the 39-year-old, who had spent the last 14 years with ESPN as an anchor and play-by-play announcer."You have to be a fan at heart; I really believe that," Shroff said in a news release."I think I represent a lot of the people in this town. I moved here for an opportunity and for a job, never knowing it would be home forever, and it's become home forever. And there's a lot of people here who are transplants.
Charlotte is familiar to Shroff, who has spent the past 10 years with his wife and 4-year-old daughter as he worked at ESPN's Ballantyne studios. Shroff is a first-generation immigrant whose family came to the U.S. from India in the 1970s, the team said in the press release.
