With the biggest game of the year on tap for Sunday, Feb. 5, there is perhaps no more appropriate way to take a look back at the 2011 NFL season than with four of the league’s biggest newsmakers.

ESPN2 will do just that on Tuesday, Jan. 31 (9 p.m. ET) when it debuts a “SportsCenter Special: NFL Face to Face with Hannah Storm. (Use hashtag #FaceToFace to discuss on Twitter.)

The hour-long special features long-format, in-depth interviews with Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Ndamukong Suh and Colts owner Jim Irsay.

On this edition of the Front & Center podcast, Hannah discusses, among other things, how the show’s concept came together; her admiration for ABC’s Barbara Walters; the common thread found in all four personalities she visited with and the incredible artist who provides the special’s open and in-show content (Front Row will have more on this unique artist on Tuesday).

“This is a project I’m very passionate about and one I’ve wanted to do for several years,” said Storm. “It was revealing to see some of the biggest names in the NFL open themselves up, both in our interviews and by taking our ESPN cameras to places that were very personal to them. I think that viewers will walk away understanding how complex and fascinating each of these highly accomplished four men are.”
