Big things brewing off the field in Tampa thanks to Jake Browning's wife & her plans to upgrade her fit checks
Stephanie Niles is learning to sew her own game-day outfits after joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Jake Browning's newly married NFL wife.
What an offseason it has been for Stephanie Niles. After leaving it all on the field for her last fit check as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, she has landed with a new team and added a new ring.
That's right, with Jake Browning signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the two of them tying the knot, it's been a busy few months for the couple as they prepare for the quarterback's eighth season in the NFL.
But the practice squad girlfriend turned backup quarterback fiancée has big plans for the upcoming season after officially becoming an NFL wife. Now that she's introduced herself at the local country club, she's getting to work.
Mrs. Browning is giving her closet an upgrade this season and has already started working on her outfit for the Buccaneers home opener. She's going big or settling for a T-shirt from the team shop.
Her obsession began, she admits, with the viral bodysuit she wore a couple of years ago in Cincinnati. Ever since that moment, she's been preparing as if she's a starter and made the most of every opportunity.
That's taken Stephanie Browning to a new level when it comes to her approach to her game day fits. Her ideas have surpassed simply putting her trust in an "alarming little amount of thread."
She announced on Wednesday that she's learning to sew and the rest of the league has officially been put on notice.

What a veteran move. When you feel like you've done all you can with your current skill set, you add some more skills.
That's how you make it off the practice squad and onto a roster. That's how you land a backup role and start some games when the starter goes down.
I don't want to toot my own horn here, but I hit the nail on the head with the "big things brewing off the field in Tampa" proclamation. If you're new to the league or haven’t found your footing yet, take notes.
A well-timed viral moment can only take you so far. You have to be prepared for what comes next, and Stephanie Browning has taken it all in stride.
