Rutledge was joined by Marcus Spears, Dan Orlovsky and Ryan Clark to discuss all things NFL following last week’s Draft.
During a segment about Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, she attempted to recreate his triumphant pose from Super Bowl LVIII.
As Rutledge stretched his arms wide, the panel was distracted by his muscular arms.
“Have you been in the weight room?!” gasped Orlovsky.
“My baby is too heavy!” countered Rutledge, who welcomed son Jack last summer.
Spears asked Rutledge to “flex real quick,” with the giggly sportscaster showing off her toned arms to applause.
“Honestly, my kids will be mortified when they are older,” she later wrote on X, referencing the clip.
“Hey Laura, which way to muscle beach?” laughed a fan in response.

“The best group and show there is. You can tell they really love working together,” wrote another.
“The NFL talk is great, but your expressions add to the show!” said a third.
“The most beautiful woman on television! THE QUEEN of ESPN,” she choked out a fourth.
Rutledge is a familiar face to NFL fans from his work with NFL Live and SEC Nation.
Last month, she began a new career as host of Welcome to the Masters.
The former Fox sideline reporter has been with ESPN for nearly a decade.
Before her career in broadcasting, Laura competed in a beauty pageant in Florida.
My baby is very heavy!

She was named Miss Florida in 2012 and competed in the Miss America pageant.
Last fall, she opened up after a terrifying ordeal involving her son Josh.
The little one was airlifted to the hospital after an undisclosed medical emergency and is now on the “road to recovery,” for AND! Online.
“I hesitated to post this because I don’t want anyone to think we are asking for pity,” Laura wrote in an emotional social media post.
“Baby Jack was transported by helicopter from Grand Strand Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, SC to MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital in Charleston.
“Both hospitals were very kind and acted quickly. Lauren, Eric, and Justin at Airlink Novant Health treated our son as if he were their own and provided reassurance in the scariest of times.
“Thank you to the strangers who supported us today. The first responders are amazing.”
