#56: Brandin Cooks Briannon Lepman

The Houston Texans wide receiver and the cheerleader: the love story of Brandin Cooks and Briannon Lepman, upon first inspection, sounds like another cliché story of a football player meets a cheerleader. Both athletes attended Oregon State University, where Cooks played football and Lepman was a cheerleader who gained the name “The Lady Archer.”

Briannon was by his side as Cooks moved on from a college football career to the NFL, when he was drafted to the Los Angeles Rams, and though she put her days as an athlete behind her, she continued to support him and attend every one of his games. Now that the couple is married, Briannon is off to her next endeavor: she’s an amateur photographer, and she currently maintains a successful lifestyle blog, where she shares photos and stories from her personal life (and envious marriage).
