To make the most of this list — which is ranked in reverse order by
hotness — you don’t have to know the difference between a wide receiver
and a running back, but you simplymust have an appreciation for a tight end (sorry). Keep scrolling below to join us in counting down the Top 10 Sexiest NFL Players of the 2013-2014 Season!
10. DANNY AMENDOLA, New England Patriots
Position: Wide receiver
Age: 27
Marital Status: Single (we think … we hope)
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: That smirk, those biceps (tie)
Tom Brady’s brand-new weapon is actually an NFL veteran who most recently played for the St. Louis Rams. At 5’10″ the Texas native is called “undersized,” like his pretty Pats predecessor Wes Welker. The oft-hurt Amendola was just listed with a groin injury (no, not there!). Let’s hope it doesn’t keep him off the field: The civic-minded player haspledged to donate $100 for every pass he catches — and $200 for every dropped pass, haters! — to a relief fund for victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. more after cut....
9. VICTOR CRUZ, New York Giants
Position: Wide receiver
Age: 26
Marital Status: Has longtime girlfriend
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: Gotta love a man who can dance!
The player who brought salsa dancing into the stadium has so much style to spare he started his own clothing line. The New Jersey native is so famously well groomed he has even just been named a spokesman for Gillette. Check out how he gets that 6-foot body of his in Super Bowl shape: “Every three weeks or so I get a manicure and pedicure, and every other week I get a massage. You have to do those little things to keep your body in shape. In the long run it pays off.” Oh, my, and how!
8. MARK SANCHEZ, New York Jets
Position: Quarterback
Age: 26
Marital Status: Single (very)
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: Tendency for shirtless photo shoots
The newly injured and long-struggling Sanchez might not be a Jet — or maybe even an NFL quarterback — for that much longer, so we’d better grab every opportunity we can to gaze at his luscious dark curls and soulful brown eyes. And it looks like we won’t be seeing the 6’2″ stud on the field for at least a couple more weeks because of that stupid right shoulder injury (thanks again, Rex!) … but if he cares to use his time off to make any more of those sexy viral videos, we are so in!
7. JORDAN CAMERON, Cleveland Browns
Position: Tight end
Age: 25
Marital Status: Dating Victoria’s Secret model Erin Heatherton
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: Sexy scowl, even sexier smile
It is hilarious that Cameron has been called “the man without a face” to casual Browns fans — ’cause his face is simply stunning! Meanwhile, savvy fantasy football fans arehoping the 6’5″ hunk is the “next big thing,” while we people with good eyesight justknow he is. And speaking of seeing things … we’ve seen the Los Angeleno in his USC days with totally rad surfer locks and showing off his crazy basketball skills with Blake Griffin. Now we need to see the man with his shirt off. Get on it, GQ!
6. CAM NEWTON, Carolina Panthers
Position: Quarterback
Age: 24
Marital Status: Single
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: He’s just soooo much man
As the former Heisman winner and 2011 No. 1 draft pick enters his third season in the league, expectations are once again as high as the 6’5″ Newton is tall. As yet another gridiron stud with his own line of clothes, the native Georgian has often brought his self-described ‘swaggerific‘ sense of fashion to the pages of GQ and Esquire. But us? We like it better when he poses in nothing but his underwear. Thank you, Under Amour, for starting what we hope is a big, big trend!
5. REGGIE BUSH, Detroit Lions
Position: Running back
Age: 28
Marital Status: Engaged to his baby mama
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: Smile, torso (we refuse to pick just one!)
Bush is always making Top 10 hunks lists like this, so we resisted including him yet again, we really did. But resistance is futile when he keeps posting Instagram pics of hisadorable baby girl and his sexy, built-up body. The 6-foot Californian has been kicking around the league (more accurately, running around it) since 2006, and earlier this year found what we hope is a happy new home on the Lions’ roster. A happy Reggie is a productive Reggie. And a productive Reggie lands on magazine covers, usually shirtless. Everybody wins!
4. COLIN KAEPERNICK, San Francisco 49ers
Position: Quarterback
Age: 25
Marital Status: Single
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: No body issues whatsoever
Colin Kaepernick is a confident guy. If his showing off his many tattoos — all of them, if you get our drift — in the 2013 ESPN Body Issue hasn’t convinced you of his abundance of confidence, how about this: When he was in the fourth grade, he wrote a letter predicting he would one day play for the Niners (which he did), and that he would one day grow to the towering height of 6 feet 4 inches (which he did). Count us confident that we’ll see another skin-filled photoshoot from him in the coming weeks.
3. CLAY MATTHEWS, Green Bay Packers
Position: Linebacker
Age: 27
Marital Status: Single
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: Uh, you saw the hair, right?
There’s a reason that Matthews appears in commercials for everything from Depends to Campbell’s Chunky Soup: The ladies love a Viking stud! “The Claymaker” is the only defensive player to land on this list, and at 6’3″ and 255 pounds, who was going to stop him? Actually, part of his appeal is the fact that he appears to be a gentle giant, and apretty funny one at that. Still, it’s safe to say that the only quarterback that wants to get anywhere near him on the football field is his own.
2. ADRIAN PETERSON, Minnesota Vikings
Position: Running back
Age: 28
Marital Status: Single
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: No physical weaknesses (see below)
A.P. is pretty much the entire nation’s No. 1 fantasy football pick for 2013, and the multiple-time MVP and regular record-breaker came thisclose to topping our list too. One NFL colleague was recently quoted as saying that Peterson the player “really has no weaknesses” — and that was from a competitor! One of our greatest weaknesses is spending too much time staring at photos that show his ridiculously ripped torso. Believe us when we say we could do drool over him All Damned Day!
1. ERIC DECKER, Denver Broncos
Position: Wide receiver
Age: 26
Marital Status: Newlywed
What Makes Him Swoonworthy: EVERYTHING
Great looks, humble, talented, Decker is the whole package — and we’re not making a veiled reference to that whole thing about him tripping on his supposed “third leg” on national TV! The man is so beyond perfect that he makes even acne treatment lookspectacular. His Broncos take on the Super Bowl-winning Baltimore Ravens in tonight’s season opener, and we’ll be looking for him to catch a pass or three from QB Peyton Manning. If that plan fails, we’ll have plenty of chances to gawk at him (and his new wife, country singer Jessie James) on their upcoming reality show. From the previews we’ve seen of E!’s “Eric & Jessie: Game On,” we’re guessing that Eric’s reality doesn’t include a lot of shirts!
