Behind every good man is an even-better woman. And behind every good football player is his WAG. They're in the crowd and sometimes on the sidelines cheering, supporting, and making sure to post about it on Instagram. The WAG phenomenon has taken over the NFL in recent years, exploding ever since Taylor Swift joined the ranks of being partners with a gridiron star last September.

These women have brands outside of football, but making an appearance in a luxury suite, looking their best, has become part of their schtick. With NFL players' busy schedules during the season, their girlfriends and wives create teams of their own and have become close.

Swift befriended Brittany Mahomes very similarly to how Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes started a brotherhood traveling the country to support the Chiefs. Here are some of the NFL's premier WAGs and their impacts near and far away from the gridiron. Simone Biles is arguably the best athlete of this generation and the greatest gymnast ever.

Simone Biles. Having one of the best athletes of all-time on your arm isn't bad for Jonathan Owens, isn't it? That is, only if you recognize her. Owens came under fire on multiple occasions for stating he did not know who Biles was when they first met on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2020.
