Meet the Real-Life Partners of NFL Stars

When Matt Stafford, today the star quarterback for the Detroit Lions, started his college football career at the University of Georgia, Kelly Hall was a cheerleader. It was the classic story of boy meets girl, quarterback meets cheerleader, and the two have been dating since then. In 2015, they tied the knot in Atlanta – Kelly’s hometown – surrounded by their nearest and dearest.

Kelly was a leading cheerleader in college, and in 2016, she was asked to put together a cheerleading team for the Detroit Lions. Although she is also qualified to be a nurse, it seems as if she is yet to engage in the profession, and her real passion is dancing. That’s why she teaches dance, leads dance groups, and does what she loves most – cheering.
