Mina Kimes is taking things to the next level.
Known for her sharp NFL analysis and effective presence on ESPN, Kimes just revealed a new project that puts her on the other side of the mic- as an interviewer. On Wednesday, she shared news of an upcoming summer interview series that will feature candid conversations with some of her favorite athletes.
“Some news!” she posted on X. “I am doing a series of interviews this summer that will run on YouTube and TV with players I love watching. First up is one of my all time faves: LAVONTE DAVID. He was super thoughtful and cool and I think you’ll enjoy it.”
Kimes has long been a fan favorite, not just for her football insight but for how she connects with both fans and players. With this new series, she’s leaning into that strength, promising a closer look at the people behind the helmets, starting with Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David.
The response to Kimes’ announcement came fast, and it came loud. From praise to playful predictions, her mentions filled with excitement and support.
