This offseason feels slightly different, with many sideline reporters enjoying summer and flooding social media with their moments.

College football may still be weeks away, but ESPN’s Laura Rutledge is already in game-day form and is grabbing attention off the game.

Rutledge, a staple of SEC coverage and host of NFL Live, stepped in front of the camera for a fresh photoshoot with Blue Delta Jeans Company.

She shared the results on Instagram, and fans wasted no time weighing in. The post racked up more than 8,700 likes and plenty of comments that were just as much about her style as her work on TV.

For years, Rutledge has built a strong presence for herself. Whether breaking down a defensive scheme or showing off her style, she connects with audiences in a way few sports broadcasters manage. Her latest post proves that the connection is as strong as ever.

Fans Couldn’t Get Enough Of Laura Rutledge

The comments section filled up with quick praise and playful remarks.

“You have great jeans, Laura!” one fan joked, leaning into the double meaning.

Another kept it simple: “Amazing woman. Watch her every day on NFL LIVE.”

Some fans even went nostalgic. “I remember I used to watch in the early days when you were on the Paul Finebaum show!! You and Paul had such great chemistry back then,” one wrote, suggesting she bring back a few of those moments on SEC Nation.

It’s not the first time Rutledge’s fashion choices have drawn attention. At SEC Media Days, she sported an all-black look with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, sharing behind-the-scenes clips with followers. A different post showed her in another black outfit, teasing fans to “swipe to see what I was hiding on TV today.”

From the sidelines at Kyle Field to a studio desk or a brand photoshoot, Rutledge keeps her look consistent. Blue and black seem to be her go-to colors, and she wears them in ways that stand out without feeling forced.

Now, with the new college football season around the corner, fans will soon see Rutledge back where she’s most at home, covering the action live. Until then, her social media feed is giving them plenty to talk about. And if this latest shoot is any hint, she’ll keep turning heads long after the opening game.
