NFL WAG week continues with actress Hayden Panettiere. Hayden is almost in Kim Kardashian territory when it comes to serial athlete dating, but unlike Kimmy Cakes, Panettiere is fairly subtle with her jersey chasing.
After spending several years as the main squeeze of gigantic heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko, Hayden has moved on and is now the lady love of New York Jets receiver Scotty McKnight.
