Saquon Barkley is used to showing off on the football field — but in ESPN’s Body Issue, which hits newsstands June 29, the former Nittany Lion shows off in some new ways.
The No. 2 overall NFL draft pick was photographed flipping tires, performing pull-ups and executing other exercises all the while showing off his body. He’s among 16 athletes to appear in the 10th anniversary issue and joins the likes of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, MLB all-star Yasiel Puig and golfer Greg Norman who ditched their uniforms to bare (almost) it all.
In an interview that accompanies the issue, Barkley said his commitment to getting his body in shape started right before his junior year of high school when it looked as if he was going to be a starter.
