How one Instagram post launched career of rising ESPN analyst
>>A year ago, Dan Orlovsky did not know what was next.
He had retired after 12 years as mostly a backup quarterback and was perhaps best known for authoring one of the more infamous plays in NFL history. Orlovsky was watching the Week 10 Panthers-Dolphins Sunday night game and was explaining to his wife the Xs and Os behind a Cam Newton touchdown pass.
“She said you should make a video and put it on social media,” Orlovsky told The Post recently.
“At this point I thought social media was stupid, I had maybe 1,000 followers on Twitter. Three minutes later, I came to my senses. I paused my television, used the camera in my phone and just broke the play down. I went to bed and it went viral [on Instagram], and that was my moment to be like, ‘Huh, that’s how I can separate myself.’ ”<<
