Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
By · Updated October 29, 2020
01
Ready to Play

This morning’s eye candies are all big, burly and beautiful and they know how to tackle and score. Take Kansas Chiefs running back Thomas Jones, for example. We gave him a touch down by default, just for looking so delicious.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
02
Braylon Edwards

New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards loves to show off his perfectly sculpted six-pack and we can’t help but stare. Who needs a glass of water?

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
03
Comeback King

We love Michael Vick for admitting his mistakes and working hard to win our hearts again. Plus his dark chocolate complexion, 6-foot-frame and deep eyes may have helped persuade us to let him back in.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
04
Run Away Love

There’s something about a man with dreadlocks, isn’t there, ladies? Chiefs wide receiver Dexter McCluster seems so free charging down the field with his locks behind him. We’d love to run away with you.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
05
Cutie Pie

We oohed and ahhed the first time we saw Kansas City linebacker Derrick Johnson’s baby face. Don’t you just want to kiss those lips?

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
06
Go Defense!

Kansas City cornerback Brandon Flowers may be on the defense, but we think we’re wearing him down. We can’t wait to show him our sneak attack.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
07
Mane Event

It may be those lustrous curls that make Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu so dreamy. Or maybe it’s his dark intense eyes or his kissable lips. Whatever it is, we’re sprung.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
08
Keyaron Fox

Steelers linebacker Jeyaron Fox has stolen our hearts with his puppy dog eyes and strong, manly arms.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
09
Muscle Man

Pittsburgh middle linebacker James Farrior looks like he needs a little help stretching out his hamstrings and glutes. Any volunteers?

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
10
Baby Face

At 26, New England Patriots running back Thomas Clayton still looks like a rookie. We love a man who maintains his youthfulness.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
11
Off Limits

Chicago Bears safety Chris Harris just got married in 2010. We can see why his lady fell for him. Those pouty lips and that smooth, dark chocolate complexion won us over immediately.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
12
Come Back to Me

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Michael Williams returned to football this year after taking a two year hiatus. We’re glad he’s back. We missed that tall frame — he’s 6’5" ladies — and tight end on the field.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
13
P.Y.T.

Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate is only 22. We think we could teach the cute Tennessee native a thing or two off the field.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
14
Give It To Me

We can see what Nia Long saw in Dwight Freeney. At 6’1" and 286 pounds the Indianapolis Colts defensive end has a lot of love to give. We’d love to be on the receiving end of that, Dwight. Just saying.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
15
Say My Name, Say My Name

Indiana Colts running back may be fairly new to the NFL, but he’s already made a name for himself on the field. We’d like to show him how popular he is off the field.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
16
American Man

Philadelphia Eagles safety Kurt Coelman is originally from Columbus, Ohio. We don’t know what they feed those boys, but they don’t make ’em like they do in the Midwest. We call dibs on those luscious pink lips and big, burly arms.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
17
So Kissable

We’d like to plant one right on Baltimore Ravens cornerback Chris Carr’s smacker. Maybe we’ll give him a smooch on his sexy jaw for good luck too and what the heck, he can get an extra one on neck…

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
18
Hey Big Guy

At 6’3" and 247 pounds Ravens linebacker Prescott Burgess is the type of man who demands attention when he walks into a room. We’ll give you all the attention and affection you deserve, Prescott. Believe that.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
19
Experienced

New York Jets defensive end Jason Taylor has been in the game for a long time. We’d like to get a few pointers from the former Miami Dolphin. Maybe he can teach us how to go long.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
20
Save Me

New York Jets running back Ladanian Tomlinson brings out the damsel in distress in us. We might even fake an injury to be rescued by those those broad shoulders.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
21
What a Dream

We can’t help but swoon every time Jets QB Mark Sanchez flashes a smile. Those dreamy eyes make us melt. Sigh.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
22
Darren Sharper

We can’t figure out why New Orleans Saints safety Darren Sharper is single. The 35-year-old footballer has everything a woman needs. That hard body and those cute dimples even sweeten the package. He’s bound to get snatched up soon.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
23
Keep Coming Back for More

Oh Reggie. No matter how you feel about the New Orleans Saints player, you can’t deny his fine-ness. His ripped chest, bulging biceps and cute boyish smile keep us smitten.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
24
It’s Getting Hot In Here

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jarrett Bush is tall glass of water. It’s no wonder he has to cool himself off. He’s too hot to handle.

Eye Candy: Sexy NFL Players 2011
25
Michael turner

We know he’s sitting down in this pic, but you must see the buns on Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner.
