It’s been quite the summer for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, between earning a spot on the first-team All-Pro list and inking a $100 million contract extension. Thomas capped the offseason with an appearance in ESPN The Magazine’s 2019 “Body Issue,” making him the first Saints player to be featured in the long-running series.
Like the 21 other athletes in the annual special issue (including the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line), Thomas posed in the nude to showcase the training he’s put his body through to find NFL success. Considering the many records to his name (such as 321 career receptions, the most of any player in league history through their first three years), his hard work has paid off.
Thomas shared a few of his photos from his official Twitter account, which you can see where they’re embedded below or by viewing the full gallery at ESPN.
