Evan Washburn has really made his mark in sports broadcasting, especially with his solid NFL coverage at CBS Sports. His story is packed with career highs and personal moments. And these moments show not just his talent but also his life behind the scenes.

Evan joined CBS Sports back in June 2014, and it’s been all systems go since then. He’s become a crucial part of the NFL coverage, seamlessly blending in with big names like Ian Eagle and Charles Davis. But that’s not all! He’s also got a handle on college basketball and even reports on lacrosse. Talk about versatility!

He’s notched up some serious credentials too. We are talking about being a sideline reporter for Super Bowl LV, Super Bowl LIII, and Super Bowl 50! Ever watched an AFC game? Then you might have seen him in action. His knack for throwing out spot-on questions has really put him on the map in the reporting world.

One story that stands out is from the AFC title game in 2016—while interviewing legends like Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, Evan got the call that his wife, Kate, had gone into labor a month early. Picture this! In a high-pressure situation, he takes a quick break to call Kate, expressing his love and pride before diving right back into an interview with Brady. That kind of balance between work and family is impressive, and it highlights Evan’s amazing dedication to both his job and his loved ones.

Evan shared with The Baltimore Sun, “In between Belichick leaving and Tom Brady coming in, I ran out of the room for a second, made a quick phone call, told my wife how proud I was of her…” This little snippet shines a light on how he juggles it all in the fast-paced world of sports reporting.

Who is Evan Washburn’s wife, Kate?

Talking about Kate Washburn, the couple tied the knot on May 30, 2014, in a cozy beach wedding in Florida. The ceremony was intimate, with a personal touch including their dog, Stella. While Evan is busy shining in the spotlight, Kate tends to keep her life off social media.

Evan and Kate live in Baltimore and share a son named Hudson, who was born on January 22, 2016. But the story of Hudson’s birth? That’s a wild ride of its own. Kate was set to have a C-section on February 22, but Hudson decided to surprise everyone and arrive a month early. During a blizzard, Kate had to hop in an Uber on her own to get to the hospital while Evan was hundreds of miles away in Denver, focused on interviews.

In a chat with The Baltimore Sun, Evan recalled the moment he found out Kate was in labor. “I think my water broke.” He didn’t skip a beat in expressing shock that they were doing this a month early. But Evan managed to show his support before jumping back into the whirlwind of interviews.

Evan has called Kate a “rock star” for handling the stress of an unexpected labor while he was far away. He said, “It’s tough on families, and this couldn’t have gone any worse in terms of timing. But she’s been unbelievable.” It’s this kind of dynamic that shows how they really support each other. Even in the craziest moments of their lives!
