Strahan appears weekly on Fox when the NFL season is in full swing.

And the New York Giants icon is an anchor on Good Morning America.

Strahan appeared in a YouTube interview with journalist Graham Besinger and discussed the reasons why he would retire from broadcasting.

“At some point, you’ve got to look back,” the NFL Hall of Famer said.

“I love my life. I enjoy my life. My kids are in college. I want to be able to go to college. I want to be able to say, ‘Hey, let’s go take a trip,’ not, ‘Oh, I’ve got to get this vacation time off.’

“I want a life where there’s some freedom at some point.”

Strahan then gave a strong statement about his future .

“I guarantee you this: I’ll be off TV before a lot of people [are] sick of seeing me on TV,” he said.

Strahan didn’t share when exactly he would walk away from broadcasting.

However, the 52-year-old did add that he gives himself up to 10 years that he can continue to work before retirement.

Strahan recently received positive news regarding his 19-year-old daughter Isabella.

On June 20, she completed her final round of chemotherapy for brain cancer.

Strahan hasn’t appeared on GMA for the last six episodes which caused speculation about his absences.

Michael Strahan's NFL career

Michael Strahan is one of the most recognizable faces on television.

But he came into his media career off the back of a hugely successful stint in the NFL.

Strahan spent 14 years all with the New York Giants from 1993 to 2007.

He was a seven-time Pro Bowler and helped them win the Super Bowl in 2007 – ending the New England Patriots’ hopes of a perfect season.

Strahan was also a two-time NFL sacks leader and also won Defensive Player of the Year.

The ex-Giants star set the single-season sack record with 22.5 in 2001 – a feat which was matched by J.J. Watt exactly 20 years later.

He is one of the best defensive stars to have ever played the game – finishing with 141.5 career sacks and 854 tackles.

He appears on the program while alongside NFL icons Terry Bradshaw , Howie Long, and Jimmie Johnson.

Strahan joined GMA in 2016 and works on the show throughout the year.
