Wilfork, Miller among NFL stars set to appear in ESPN's 'Body Issue'

Logan Bowles / USA TODAY Sports

Vince Wilfork, Von Miller, and Antonio Brown round out a group of three NFL stars who will be baring all when ESPN's "Body Issue" hits newsstands early in July.

Of the three football players on this year's roster, which includes 19 athletes overall, Wilfork is the most intriguing name.

The Houston Texans defensive tackle is officially listed at 6-foot-2 and 325 pounds, and hopes his willingness to participate can help others be more confident in themselves.

"I know I don't have the six-packs and the eight-packs and all that ... But I'm perfectly fine with what I am," Wilfork said in a statement released by ESPN. "If people can look at me, look at a guy that's 325-plus doing an issue like this, I'm pretty sure that they might have a little confidence after seeing that it's OK to be who you are."

Among the other notable names to be featured are UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, and Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta.

This year's issue will be available online July 6 before reaching newsstands July 8.
