Laura Rutledge Sent The Internet Into a Frenzy As She Sprinted Across The Field In Her Knee-High Boots [VIDEO]

ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge puts everything into her job. She serves as a full-time sideline reporter for Monday Night Football. This is a role she assumed before the start of the 2025 NFL season. It is clear that she wants to keep it for years to come.

She recently showed off her dedication to her job. During a recent college football game, a camera caught her sprinting on the field. Oklahoma was taking on Alabama in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

After interviewing on the field, she needed to be somewhere else quickly. Footage caught Laura Rutledge running to get to the concourse for halftime. She only had two minutes to do so. Rutledge sprinted by players and coaches into the locker room area.

She then had everything put on her to get ready for her next TV appearance.

“Tons of respect for Laura Rutledge here,” an X user posted. So good at her job, and this is a part nobody sees. She’s got two minutes to get from the sideline interview to the concourse for halftime. One day I’ll tell you about the time I worked a game on both radio and TV!”
