There will be a surprising new face waiting to greet viewers at “CBS This Morning.” Nate Burleson, the former NFL wide receiver and current CBS Sports football analyst, is joining the p…

The addition of Burleson would take the sober-minded morning program further from its roots. As originally conceived, “CBS This Morning” is supposed to provide a hard-news alternative to its main rivals, ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “Today,” which rely as heavily on summer concerts, cooking segments and social media round-ups as they do on giving viewers a morning update on all breaking news of import.

Aficionados of the show may already be familiar with Burleson. He helped fill in while co-anchor Tony Dokoupil was on paternity leave, part of a test that had celebrities and others who do not hail from traditional journalism hanging out during the program’s 8 a.m. hour. He has also gained notice in the sports world, where he recently helped lead a unique sports broadcast of an NFL Wild Card Game aimed at the young viewers of Nickelodeon, also part of CBS News’ corporate parent.
