NFL players rely on their linemen to protect them on the field. Off of it, it’s their wives and girlfriends who have stepped up to clap back when fans have gotten out of line.
That includes some of the most famous WAGs in the league today. Kylie Kelce, wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, often speaks about the community that NFL significant others have built around the league — from the stars to the practice players.
