ESPN just went ahead and hired social media influencer Katie Feeney for the upcoming 2025 NFL season. It’s like the worlds of sports and social media just collided in the most awesome way possible.
Katie Feeney is known for her content on Instagram and TikTok, and now she’s bringing her social media game to ESPN. She’s going tbe creating all sorts of cool content around the NFL season, from behind-the-scenes access to player interviews and everything in between.
ESPN will have her create short-form clips while also making appearances on ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’, ‘Monday Night Countdown’, and ‘College GameDay’.
“Katie has built an impressive and authentic connection with sports fans by blending access, personality, and Gen-Z culture in a way that feels fresh and engaging,” the company said in a press release.
“Her perspective and creativity are a perfect match for how we’re reimagining coverage to meet fans where they are, and we can’t wait to see the energy she brings to ESPN’s daily coverage and live event moments,” they added.
Feeney is unlikely to be star-struck as she has already covered major events such as the Super Bowl and the Oscars. But she’s still very excited to be joining ESPN.
“I grew up watching SportsCenter with my family, and I’m proud to now be part of the storytelling that brings ESPN to millions of fans around the world,” she said.
It’s pretty good to see major sports networks like ESPN recognizing the power of social media influencers, and I can’t wait to see what Katie Feeney brings to the table for the 2025 NFL season. Get ready for some seriously epic content!
