ESPN magazine rounds up a new group of athletes for its annual Body issue. This time around, the magazine connects with stars such as Julian Edelman of the New England Patriots and Chicago Cubs player Javier Baez. Fearless, the stars show off their athletic builds and bring a relentless energy. Brent Burns talks to the magazine about going nude with his friend, Joe Thornton. He confesses, “You never know what to expect with something like this. We both just dropped our robes and looked into each other’s eyes and laughed: ‘We’re both naked right now doing a face-off, so this is interesting.'”
