Beards will be one of the only things covering Brent Burns and Joe Thornton when the two strip down for ESPN's 2017 Body Issue.

The San Jose Sharks duo will be among the dozens of athletes baring it all for the annual issue that is set to include Boston Celtics' Isaiah Thomas, Javier Baez of the Chicago Cubs, tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, and the U.S. Women's National Hockey Team.

Former Sharks teammate - and now Florida Panthers defenseman - Jason Demers piped up about the news and suggests the shoot shouldn't feel new to the two Sharks stars.

At least Burns now has a Norris Trophy he could help cover himself up with.
