The life of an NFL player doesn't strike us as being on par with the lives of both basketball and baseball players. Sure, you can rake in mountains of dough, get the over-the-top adulation of your peers and retire at age 30, but quickly after that reality sets in. Between predatory entrepreneurs and a litany of nagging injuries your quality of life plummets faster than a whole host of inappropriate references to aviation disasters. Plus, even during your career the "game" looks brutal.
We sit at home when the temperature outside drops below zero, reclined in our heated living rooms watching these guys collide for our enjoyment. We would surmise that there are times when none of us (reading or writing this) envy NFLers. But then we look at a gallery like this and say "Screw it; I'll play a game with J.J. Watt trying to destroy me on every play if I can go home to any one (or more) of these ladies." And that's really the dream from pee-wee to pro. Remember, there's always hope (provided you can throw a ball 70 yards). These are the WAGs of the 2014 NFL Season.
Kristin Cavallari
WAG of: Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears
She went from dating Matt Leinart (10th overall pick in 2006 Draft) to marrying Jay Cutler (the 11th overall pick in the 2006 Draft). If they ever divorce who's next in line? Haloti Ngata.
Jennifer Lemmons
Wag of: DeAndre Hopkins, Houston Texans
Wear braces at 12 to have this smile at...whatever age she is.
Kasey Trione
WAG of: Lance Moore, Pittsburgh Steelers
Lance Moore doesn't care that he's only owned in 1% of Yahoo fantasy leagues.
Lauren Tannehill
WAG of: Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins
We're not sure if it's complimentary or creepy (leaning towards creepy) that "Lauren Tannehill yoga pants" auto populates on Google search.
Candice Crawford
WAG of: Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
From Jessica Simpson to Carrie Underwood to Candice Crawford. You be the judge—did he make the right choice?
Colleen Crowley
WAG of: Johnny Manziel, Cleveland Browns
You'd be forgiven for thinking it was Drake.
Sarah Hinton
WAG of: Garrett Celek, San Francisco 49ers
Garrett Celek has exactly zero touchdowns in his career. We're guessing that doesn't bug him all that much.
Kirsten Hardy
WAG of: Jadeveon Clowney, Houston Texans
The women who pops his helmet off.
Kelly Hall
WAG of: Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
Your thoughts are making that cross go upside down.
Marissa Powell
WAG of: Kyle Van Noy, Detroit Lions
That sash has got to be lying.
Ariel Meredith
WAG of: Hakeem Nicks, Indianapolis Colts
Was a member of student council and a "parliamentarian" in high school and that means nothing to you because you're just staring at her butt.
Talor Reazin
WAG of: Danny Amendola, New England Patriots
Suddenly, being teammates with Tom Brady doesn't seem so insufferable.
Olivia Munn
WAG of: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Though some nights it may be tempting, don't go the route of the last Packer quarterback.
Anna Burns Welker
WAG of: Wes Welker, Denver Broncos
"You gotta feel bad for a guy like Wes Welker who drops a pass, that he catches 99 out of 100 times, in the Super Bowl."
No,no you don't.
Leila Lopes
WAG of: Osi Umenyiora, Atlanta Falcons
The first woman from Angola to win Miss Universe. We got to admit, that's a little more impressive than marrying the Prom Queen.
Jessie James Decker
WAG of: Eric Decker, New York Jets
Much prettier since the last time we watched Monster Garage.
Miranda Brooke
WAG of: A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals
Out of respect for her song "Hater" we won't say anything bad.
Even though we didn't bother listening to it.
Shenae Saifi
WAG of: Patrick Willis, San Francisco 49ers
Caution: Don't duckface and drive.
Claudia Sampedro
WAG of: Julius Peppers, Green Bay Packers
Go ahead, tell Julius he's past his prime.
Sam Ponder
WAG of: Christian Ponder, Minnesota Vikings
She's the one on the right.
We think.
Sasha Dindayal
WAG of: Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
An ex-video vixen who was rumored to have dated Hype Williams and was engaged to Marcellus Wiley. You'd think being teammates with her ex-fiancee would be awkward but *looks at picture* you look past such things when a woman has this good of a, um, personality.
Katherine Webb
WAG of: AJ McCarron, Cincinnati Bengals
Star quarterback or not when you look like this, you can have any girl you want.
Lindsey Duke
WAG of: Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars
When "minuteman" is a compliment.
Gisele Bundchen
WAG of: Tom Brady, New England Patriots
The gold standard for WAGs in the NFL everywhere. When you make more money than your husband (and he ain't exactly making minimum wage) then you sure as shit deserve to be the envy of WAGs worldwide.
