The first question we have to ask is, did Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Laurie Schaub date superstar Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub while she graced the cheer squad? If the 2009 passing yards leader met Miss Schaub at a charity golf tournament sponsored by a teammate of Schaub’s, did she know he was a Falcons player?
One thing we know is that the fashionista mama of five children was named “Football’s Hottest Wife.” Also, it turns out that the two-time Pro Bowler and one-time Pro Bowl MVP was warming the bench for the Falcons when he met his future wife, so how could she know he was a player? When they tied the knot in 2008. In their spare time, the couple runs the GR8 Hope Foundation.
Brian Quick & Michelle Beltran
Michelle Beltran also made it onto the cast of WAGS after marrying NFL player Brian Quick. The E! network show features the travails of being wealthy wives and girlfriends of star athletes and discusses problems like having to move cross-country when their man gets traded. In one episode, Beltran said, dreading a move and uprooting the family, “I’m not ready for it to start.”
Hubby, Brian Quick, is heading into his eighth year with the NFL. Out of Appalachian State in 2012, Quick was the top NFL Draft pick to ever leave that college. He’s a 2-time All-American who signed with the Rams and the Redskins. He’s now a free agent.
AJ McCarron & Katherine Webb
AJ McCarron was a Crimson Tide champion quarterback. Amongst a pile of rings from his days at Alabama is a back-to-back BCS National championship. Sports Illustrated put him in the running for best college quarterback of all time. The Cincinnati Bengals picked up McCarron in the fifth round of the draft.
It was at Alabama he met his wife-to-be. When Katherine Webb won Miss Alabama USA, McCarron was interested. Her career catapulted with the attention he brought to her. Others noticed her beauty. A modeling career took off when she posed for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. Soon after, she scored a reality show gig.
Wes Welker & Anna Burns Welker
Wide receiver Wes Welken closed out a solid eleven-season career in the NFL with the St. Louis Rams in 2015. The five-time Pro Bowler has a list of accomplishments in the league, including holding the record, in a tie, for NFL record 99-yard reception. He also holds another sort of record; he’s absorbed six documented concussions. But now he’s on to a safer career in the NFL as a wide receiver coach for the San Francisco 49ers.
Besides being Miss Hooters International and a fashion model, Anna Burns has made some waves as a ferocious WAGS with a fierce hubby-defense launched via social media. The social media blowout happened during the 2013 NFL Playoffs. Clearly, she truly regretted the insult post, yet seven years later, if you search her name, her Ray Lewis burn on Facebook will flood your search results.
Corey Liuget & Faven
WAGS Miami Faven Liuget and Chargers defensive end Corey Liuget is married with two children. The Ethiopian-born beauty also runs an upscale suit company that specializes in suiting up professional athletes for game day. Corey Liuget has had a long run with the San Diego and LA Chargers. He’s been with the franchise since 2011.
He is in the middle of his second contract with the team, a 5-year extension worth $58.5 million. Wife Faven was very pleased to announce the agreement and says he is the best defensive end in the league.
