There is arguably nobody at ESPN who knows their Xs and Os better than Dan Orlovsky.A former NFL quarterback who played for four different franchises, the analyst is often applauded for the way he breaks down football both on TV and social media.Orlovsky has claimed he’s been blocked from posting NFL breakdowns on social mediaGettyHe claims to watch every snap of every game, every single week — a suggestion that once left colleague Stephen A. Smith in total disbelief.Over the years Orlovsky, who recently left fans emotional during a unique NFL Live show, has shared some of his more in-depth analysis on X, which often featured him talking over videos of game play.This season alone, he has posted at least 33 clips on social media, ranging from 20 seconds long to almost five minutes.But moving forward, he won’t be allowed to do that.Dan Orlovsky confirms NFL ‘ban’Last week, eagle-eyed fans noticed Orlovsky’s social media analysis had dried up, and he was instead sharing X posts with timestamps urging fans watch certain plays for themselves.In Week 5, he noted that he is ‘not allowed to post video on here anymore’ as he made reference to ‘outstanding throws and drops’ in the game between the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans.He also suggested Drake Maye’s tape from the New England Patriots win against the Buffalo Bills was ‘something else’But when asked by one follower to share the videos, Orlovsky responded: “I’m not allowed to post videos breakdowns anymore of any kind unfortunately.“Truly bums me out.”When asked by another fan why he couldn’t share videos anymore, Orlovsky claimed the NFL has stopped him.Orlovsky wrote on X that the league is behind his social media footage banGetty“Been told by NFL no more. Stinks,” he revealed.Another person also asked him to breakdown film from New Orleans Saints QB Spencer Rattler, to which Orlovsky replied: “Not allowed to post anymore, sorry.”Why is Orlovsky no longer allowed to share NFL footage?Orlovsky is just one of many former players and analysts sharing breakdowns of NFL games on social media and YouTube.It is unclear why he has recently been stopped from doing so, but it could be down to a rights issue between ESPN and NFL, which earlier this year announced a seismic new partnership.Pat McAfee, another former football star turned media personality, famously raged at the NFL for imposing a logo ban on his show back in 2022.He noted at the time that it cost ‘millions and millions of dollars’ to license NFL footage for his broadcasts.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?McAfee raged at NFL over logo ban in 2022“The Professional American Football League will finish its eighth week of its riveting prime-time schedule as the Cincinnati football club travels to Cleveland to take on Cleveland’s football club,” McAfee said back in October 2022.“And a lot of people might be asking, ‘Pat, on this particular Halloween, why are you talking the way that you’re talking about the league that you’ve talked about for the last three years?’“Well, the reason I’m doing so is because even though we currently have a rights deal with the NFL that costs millions and millions of dollars, we’ve been informed this morning that we are no longer allowed to use any of their logos on any of our graphics.”During that show, McAfee aired a graphic for the Bengals-Browns game that featured crudely drawn images, as he ripped into the NFL and its decision.McAfee hit out at the NFL over a ban on logos three years agoPat McAfee ShowJust days later, he announced the ‘No Fun League’ had lifted the short-lived ban.For Orlovsky, though, and potentially plenty more analysts who break down pro-football plays online, it will likely be much tougher to get their videos back.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
