For sports fans, the start of football season means hot athletic guys in tight lycra pants, holding each other, and trying to get a guy in the sack. Or something like that. The actual rules are not important. All that matters is this player makes one hell of a Tight End.
When I started this piece, I thought the jersey was going to be a challenge. From the sheen of the satin fabric to the bulges of the shoulder pads and the folds in the material as he strips down to his jockstrap, there was a lot to tackle. Fortunately, everything just seemed to flow smoothly for a highly satisfying finish.
