Courtney Cronin might not be as well known as other reporters on ESPN, but she surely made a name for herself during a recent post of hers on social media.
Cronin has been working for ESPN since August 2017 and covered the Minnesota Vikings for several years before moving to the Windy City to report on the Chicago Bears.
The NFL Nation reporter for ESPN, who has been a regular guest on various shows, such as “Around the Horn” and “First Take,” is going viral this week for her work outfit.
Courtney Cronin posted a picture of herself smiling at the “Around the Horn” studio while sporting a dark green short skirt that showed off plenty of her legs.
With her short skirt were some black strappy heels that really brought the outfit together.
We are SO back. @AroundtheHorn returns from its 3 week hiatus at 5 p.m. ET.
See you on @espn or ESPN2 if #LLWS runs late! pic.twitter.com/zInONDNbU0
