Eagle is following in his dad's footsteps in his career as a broadcaster.
Ian Eagle, 54, calls NFL games for CBS and also works on other sports such as NBA, tennis and boxing.
He won the 2022 National Sports Media Association Sportscaster of the Year award.
Noah resembles his dad both in looks and also in sound over the microphone when he's broadcasting.
He told The Adam Schefter Podcast: "I think when you’re around someone as much as I was and you respect them even more so, it just is natural to have that osmosis feel.
“He never sat me down and said, ‘Here’s what you need to do: X, Y, Z, to become this great broadcaster.’
"It was more so that I just watched him. I watched how he interacted with people.
"I watched how he carried himself, how he prepared, and then he’d give me tips, especially when I asked him.
"And when I got more into it and immersed myself in it, when I got to college, that’s when it only grew and that bond strengthened."
