Lilit Avagyan
Wifey of: Reggie Bush, Detroit Lions
When you go from Kim Kardashian to anybody it's probably going to be a let down. For Reggie Bush though, he's found himself a formidable girlfriend and mother to his only child in dancer Lilit Avagyan. We ain't mad at you Reggie, not mad at all.
Lauren Tannehill
Wifey of: Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins
Most of us remember the hoopla around Lauren Tannehill during the draft and Hard Knocks episodes last year. We were all trying to determine just how good her husband Ryan would be but we got sucked up into the phenomenon of Lauren and her beauty. The jury is still out on her hubby, but there's no denying her right to be on this list.
Samantha Steele
Wifey of: Chris Ponder, Minnesota Vikings
That awkward moment the attractive sports reporter ends up dating and actually marrying one of the athletes she might have covered. ESPN's Samantha Steele did just that when she ended up living happily ever after (we hope!) with Vikings QB Chris Ponder. At least we know Ponders got more than just potential off the field.
Elaina Watley
Wifey of: Victor Cruz, New York Giants
The trajectory Victor Cruz has been on since he got in the league has been one to marvel at for its highly improbable nature. The udrafted Giants wideout made it on a major scale and brought along his longtime girlfriend and mother to his daughter, Elaina Watley. Watley was with Cruz before the fame and by the looks of it she'll be there long after. *cues the soundtrack*
Ashley McCoy
Wifey of: Anthony McCoy, Seattle Seahawks
Little-known tight end Anthony McCoy of the Seattle Seahawks may not be a household name, but his wife Ashley managed to crack this gallery of the NFL WAGs for the 2013 season. Lets you know even the little guys win off the field. Sidebar: McCoy is actually 6'4", 260 pounds. No shots intended, fam.
Brooke Hogan
Wifey of: Phil Costa, Dallas Cowboys
Hulkamania's hot daughter also got in on the WAG action when she started dating Dallas Cowboy offensive lineman Phil Costa. The pair got engaged in June of this year and are going strong. At least the 'Boys are able to pick up a few Ws off the field.
Miranda Brooke
Wifey of: AJ Green, Cincinnati Bengals
AJ Green may be a top five receiver already, but his rise to stardom has taken place with girlfriend and recording artist Miranda Brooke by his side. The former Def Jam signee's a dime with some talent. It looks like AJ might have found himself a keeper.
Kelly Hall
Wifey of: Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
Gotta love a college sweetheart story. Matthew Stafford met Kelly Hall back at Georgia and they've been going strong since as she's stuck by his side through the injuries and pitfalls. Nothing like a ride-or-die.
Anna Burns-Welker
Wifey of: Wes Welker, Denver Broncos
Wes Welker may have changed addresses, but he's kept his rock by his side. The former Hooters girl began dating Welker in his earlier playing days, but the two stayed together and tied the knot last year. Guess those hair transplants really work.
Shenae Saifi
Wifey of: Patrick Willis, San Francisco 49ers
One of the most feared dudes on the defensive side of the ball, Patrick Willis goes home to Shenae Saifi. The pair got engaged late last year before the 49ers playoff run. Saifi just might be good luck for Willis and his 49er cohorts.
Sarah Hinton
Wifey of: Garrett Celek, San Francisco 49ers
Brent Celek's little brother and 49er tight end, Garrett Celek, will have some bragging rights next Thanksgivings day. First off, his 49er team made it to the big dance and had a puncher's chance late to bring it home. Secondly, he's managed to bag the beautiful former Hooters model Sarah Hinton. Big bro, where you at?
Candice Crawford
Wifey of: Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Romo's not having the greatest time on the football field as his Cowboys squad has only one playoff win over the last decade. Off the field, however, he's a great golfer, became a father to his first child, and married the stunning 2011 Miss Missouri Candice Crawford. Criticize that haters!
Jessie James
Wifey of: Eric Decker, Denver Broncos
One of the rare WAGs that actually surpasses her baller beau in popularity, singer Jessie James has been with Bronco's wideout Eric Decker for the past few years. The Country singing hottie hasn't put out new music in a while but you can catch the couple in Eric & Jessie: Game On, premiering Sept. 29 at 10 p.m. on E!. He got the upgrade of the century last season when the Broncos went from Tebow to Peyton Manning. Decker's just winning.
Kristin Cavallari
Wifey of: Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears
From Laguna Beach to Jay Cutler's wife and baby mama, Kristen Cavallari's come a long way. One of the original reality TV villians, Cavallari has seemingly dropped the moniker as she's moved on into motherhood and being a wife to the Chicago Bear QB.
October Gonzalez
Wifey of: Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons
Another vet in the WAG game, October Gonzalez has been with Falcon great Tony Gonzalez throughout most of his legendary career. When T-Gon ever does retire he'll surely be enjoying his time with October their three children.
Erin Heatherton
Wifey of: Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns
Brown rookie Jordan Cameron looks like he's primed to have a solid first year, and with girlfriend Erin Heatherton he's managed to already put some vets to shame. A Victoria Secret model and ex of Leonardo Dicaprio, Cameron is moving into legend category already.
Sasha Dindayal
Wifey of: Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
Gates may not be in the prime of his career, nor is he on a contender, but something tells us he's usually smiling. He's married to former video model Sasha Dindayal and we're sure he has no worries at home.
Kelsi Reich
Wifey of: David Nelson, Cleveland Browns
It's already cool to be able to say that you bagged a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, but to say you did it when you played for another team, that's the stuff of legends. Former Bill and current Cleveland Brown receiver David Nelson has been with Cowgirl Kelsi Reich for years now and their on field meetings are always noteworthy.
Gisele Bündchen
Wifey of: Tom Brady, New England Patriots
A vet of the WAG game, Tom Brady's wifey supermodel Gisele Bundchen could probably teach half the ladies on this list what being a WAG is all about. Never scared to speak her mind to the press or allow Tom Brady to do ridiculous shit with his hair, Gisele's a first ballot HOF wifey like her man's a first ballot HOF player.
Leila Lopes
Wifey of: Osi Umenyiora, Atlanta Falcons
Osi's got himself a new team, deal, and as of February of this year, a bride to be in former Miss Universe Leila Lopes. The Angolan bombshell has been in the public eye since her Ms. Universe win back in 2011 and none of us are complaining.
