ABOUT COVER 1
The Cover 1 Sports Network was founded by Erik Turner in 2015.
Erik reached a point where he no longer coached football, but the passion for learning and teaching the game never left him. Born out of passion for the details of football and graduation from the Scouting Academy, Erik was joined by Aaron Quinn and Greg Tompsett to help grow Cover 1 into the premier independent media company it is today.
Fans have come to expect detailed analysis, film breakdowns, salary cap calculations and much more in every corner of this game we love. As the network has grown over the years, Cover 1 has added talented contributors to expand their array of content offerings, including Bills pre and post-game shows, as well as extensive NFL Draft coverage.
The network operates with the goal of “taking the complexities of football and making them more accessible and understandable to fans.”
