NFL reporter Olivia Dekker is going viral for everything except for what she does for a living.
The NFL reporter for Sky Sports comes from a deeply rooted sports background. Many may not realize that her father is a legendary play-by-play announcer, Kevin Harlan.
On Sunday, Olivia Dekker began to make her own name, but not for her job.
A simple screen grab of her had fans going crazy as she held on to a microphone while covering the game between the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars in London as they played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Here is how fans reacted to her:
Just last year, Kevin and Olivia Dekker became the first father-daughter duo to call a Super Bowl when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Harlan is a three-time national sportscaster of the year and one of the voices of football and basketball.
Olivia is trying to continue to make her path while covering football for Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.

NFL Reporter Olivia Dekker Is Trying To Follow In The Footsteps of Her Famous Father
Olivia Dekker wants to pave her own way.
The 30-year-old from Kansas City, Missouri, is following in the footsteps of her legendary father, Kevin Harlan, in the broadcast world.
She told SunSport, “There’s no way to know if I would’ve found myself here without his influence. I love the industry so much and the job as a Sky Sports NFL reporter suits me so much.
“Me and my dad have had a chance to call a couple games together on the same broadcast and that’s just the biggest honor for me because he’s the person I want to impress the most in the business.
“I am always trying to impress him like many kids trying to impress their parents.
“NFL broadcasting is everything I love, but I still don’t know if I would’ve necessarily found my way there without someone in the family house already doing it.
“I always wanted to be a country music singer. I even wrote some original songs and spent every penny I had driving to Nashville and trying to record some songs.
“I guess I would’ve ended up with a microphone in my hand either way.”
Before Sky Sports, Olivia Dekker previously worked for ESPN and Fox on football coverage.
It was last year when she moved to London with her husband, Sam Dekker, who used to play in the NBA.
