"I really had to step out of my comfort zone with this, and I am so glad that I did. I challenged myself to do something I never thought I would do, and I am extremely happy with how it turned out."

"To me, doing the Body Issue is bigger than looking at an athlete's body. It's more about the story we are telling of overcoming my fear of doing this. I had a fear of being naked in front of others and a fear of being judged. So to me, overcoming that is the biggest thing."

"As I'm getting older and have to work harder on my body now than I did when I was 22, I've begun to really appreciate the finished product of putting in all those hours. Capturing the hard work through this photography is extremely rewarding."

"I never envisioned that I would be playing this long. I think I always told myself that my body would tell me, 'Hey, I gave you enough, it's time.' So whenever my body tells me that, I'll listen to it and then I'll make that decision. But nah, I'm not there yet. I've got some good years left."

"It was initially very challenging to try to feel comfortable completely naked on set. I wasn't anticipating that I actually felt comfortable by the end of the shoot."

"I'd say I probably felt like I was 28 this season. There were times when I did certain things and was like, 'Man, that was like young me!' And then there were other times when I played my old-school game and played at my own pace."

"I think taking care of your body is very important, and it's a regimen that I take very seriously. Prior to the shoot, I took it a little more seriously knowing that I would be naked on the cover."

"My underwear line Naked has this thing called the 'Naked Truth,' and mine is being my true authentic self. Participating in the Body Issue allowed me to live up to my own Naked Truth."

"I have received a lot of great feedback, especially from my wife."

"Afterwards, I felt that I had achieved a great accomplishment, and I was definitely ready to hit The Burger Joint."

"I'm always trying to stay lean because it shows more definition in my muscles. I try to make sure I have no love handles -- got to make sure of that -- and that I have low body fat. Because I can put on a few pounds pretty fast. I love to eat."

"I was just never comfortable until about four years ago, when I started feeling comfortable with my body overall. As you go through life, you get more comfortable with yourself. It's like everything else with life -- you change, you grow."
