Former NFL quarterback Matt Flynn never got much of a chance as a starting QB in the league, serving primarily as a quality backup throughout his journeyman career.
Flynn made just seven starts throughout his seven years as a pro.
While Flynn was a serviceable backup, no one was rooting harder for him to get a starting gig than his loving wife Lacey Minchew.

Former American football player Matthew Flynn — not to be mistaken with Maroon 5's drummer Matt Flynn — met his wife Lacey Minchew in 2003 while at LSU.
Flynn was a quarterback on the football team and Minchew was a Golden Girl, a member of the Tigers' dance team. The pair didn't start dating until 2008 and were married in 2013.
Minchew is a former Miss Louisiana winner who was convinced by her mother to join the Louisiana State University dance team. Her mother was also a Golden Girl, so it clearly means a lot to the family.
Minchew pursued a career in acting and moved to Los Angeles after college, forcing her and Flynn into a long-distance relationship as he began his NFL career.
The pair have three children together, whom Minchew frequently posts pictures of on social media.
