Jenny Dell, the familiar face on NFL and college football sidelines, just cranked up the heat with a new swimsuit photo that has fans buzzing. The veteran reporter, gearing up for the 2026 football season, posted a stunning snapshot that quickly went viral.
In the photo, Dell—who previously worked at NESN in Boston—channels summer vibes in a fiery red swimsuit, captioning it, “a rare day off together 🌊.” The post racked up thousands of likes and a flurry of comments from enthusiastic followers.
Fans couldn’t hold back their excitement. One joked, “Glad you went to the gym for one day in a year and still look like that 😂🫠🙄.” Another chimed in, “Baddie mom,” while a third quipped about regrets: “Man!!! I wish I spent xtra xtra time in the cages and working on my slider……Jenny you are fire 🔥🔥🔥.”
Dell, who is married to former MLB infielder Will Middlebrooks, has built a massive following across social media platforms. With over 100,000 Instagram followers and thousands more on X and TikTok, she knows how to engage her audience. This isn’t the first time she’s turned heads with a swimsuit post—she’s known for sharing sizzling shots and has even joked about wanting a spot in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
“I’d love to be in the SI Swimsuit issue,” Dell has said playfully. Given the buzz around her latest photo, that dream might not be far off. She joins a growing list of sports media personalities who’ve used social media to connect with fans beyond the game.
Dell’s post comes amid a wave of similar viral moments from other sports figures. Bella Hadid’s red swimsuit post netted 785K likes and broke the internet, showing the power of a bold photo. Meanwhile, Joe Buck’s family spring break photos show a whole new side of the NFL voice, proving that even broadcasting icons can surprise fans.
For Dell, this latest post is just another chapter in her growing social media presence. As she prepares to hit the sidelines again in 2026, fans are already counting down the days. Whether she’s reporting on a last-minute touchdown or sharing a day off, Jenny Dell knows how to keep people talking.
Will she ever grace the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit? Only time will tell. But if her recent photo is any indication, she’s already a winner in the court of public opinion.
