Buffalo fired Ryan _ who worked for ESPN during the Super Bowl _ after parts of two seasons in December.
"This is going to be a new experience for me and I am really excited about it," Ryan said in a statement released by ESPN.
"I've been a coach for 30 years and I've been around football my entire life. I'm passionate about the game _ just like the fans are, and I've coached in the league for a long time, so that's the perspective I will bring to ESPN.
"I'm just going to show up and be myself and have fun with it."
