Vince Wilfork Is Confidently Sexy for ESPN’s ‘Body Issue’: I really don’t care about six-packs.
There is no such thing as the perfect body. Just ask Houston Texans tackle Vince Wilfork, who confidently posed For ESPN’s “Body Issue”. The NFL’er weighs 325 and is not ashamed of what he considers ‘big boned’.
He explains:
I just think it’s a good idea for people that are bigger-boned. If people can look at me, a guy that’s 325-plus, doing an issue like this, I’m pretty sure that they might have a little confidence. There will be critics, just like with everything else. I think a lot of people will get a laugh out of it, I’ll tell you that. I’m looking forward to what the locker room’s going to say. But at the end of the day, I’m perfectly fine with who I am as a person and what I have accomplished. It shows a lot of my personality.
And he has a few choice words for those who attempt to fat shame him:
A lot of people look at me as a big person. Some people consider me to be obese. Some people consider me fat and sloppy. But I think this shoot will give people a different look at what I am. Everybody knows that I have a big stomach, but I think sometimes that overshadows everything else on my body — from my calves to my back to my shoulders to my biceps, you name it. What people go to the gym and work for, I have. The only thing I don’t have that they got is six-packs. But I really don’t care about six-packs.
The full issue drops July 6.
