ESPN(NEW YORK) — ESPN Magazine’s annual salute to outstanding athletes features photographs revealing their powerful bodies in ways you’ve never seen, without jerseys or athletic gear, unclothed.

The iconic issue will feature images of the 2018 Super Bowl champion Eagles offensive line, world No. 1 professional golfer Brooks Koepka, U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team star Kelley O’Hara, gymnast Katelyn Ohashi and more.
