Dhani Jones Proves He Is a HOT HOT Man!!

I've never read Essence magazine before (I'm not exactly their target audience) - but I had to grab this issue when I saw it on the newsstand this week!! New Orleans Saints linebacker - Dhani Jones - graces the cover in the magazine's annual "Do Right Man" issue.** And what a "Do Right Man" he is!! Dhani shows us all what's underneath that NFL jersey and pads that he wears each game - which just happens to be a nicely large and incredibly HOT body! I seriously had NO idea this guy looked like this! Most definitely a "Big Bad Blog" kind of man!

Click the photo above for a larger view and see what I mean! This is one hot athlete - and someone who I'm definitely into now! This 29 year old has got my attention!
Dhani has been in the NFL since 2000 - playing for the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles before being picked up by New Orleans on July 6, 2007.

In addition to his prowess as a professional athlete, Jones has shown a variety of skills off the field. He's been a correspondent for the NFL Network and also writes movie reviews and commentary on ESPN.com.

Check out the rest of the Essence photo shoot - and some other shots of Dhani Jones below. Damn! Here's hoping there more of Dhani to see in the future!

Enjoy!**Oh - also included on the Essence cover and photo shoot with Dhani are New York Jets safety Kerry Rhodes and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards - both shirtless. But I have to admit - it took me a little while to actually notice them. Kind of had my eye caught elsewhere... (source)
