If you don’t know it by now, Super Bowl Sunday is basically a national holiday in the United States. For those of you who love football, the Patriots, or the Seahawks, Super Bowl XLIX should be an exciting matchup. (Even if you’re not particularly interested in the sport or the teams, there’s nothing like free food at Super Bowl parties.) Whether you’re a die-hard fan or hopping on the bandwagon for a day, there is one thing we can all agree on: attractive athletes are one of the best parts of professional sports. The New England Patriots are definitely not lacking in this department. So, while you’re elbowing your way through Howl to get some more wings or watching with your roommate, keep your eye out for these guys on the field.
1. Jimmy Garoppolo
Fondly referred to as “Prince Aladdin” by Patriots fans, the backup QB takes his job seriously. Not only does he throw for Tom Brady when he’s not on the field, he also gives fans a beautiful face to look at while he does it. God bless.
2. Nate Ebner
I included this 3rd season Defensive Back for those of you who can appreciate a good flow. Can ESPN find out his haircare routine for me? Please & thank you.
3. Chandler Jones
Award for best smile goes to New England’s 6’5″ Defensive End. Keep grinning, Chandler!
4. Sebastian Vollmer
I only have 3 words for this German-born Offensive Tackle: beard game strong.
5. Danny Aiken
Standing at 6’4″ Danny can gaze down upon you with those gorgeous colored eyes. Yes, please.
6. Danny Amendola
This Danny would clearly be the BEST boyfriend to accompany you while you get your eyebrows done…because he’s clearly getting his done too.
7. Stephen Gostkowski
As one of the oldest players on the Pats, Stephen shows us how it is possible to age gracefully. Side note: he also looks strikingly similar to Modern Family‘s Phil Dunphy.
8. Darius Fleming
All 6’2″ and 255 pounds of this Linebacker might seem a little intimidating on the field, but given the sweet look on his face, I get the sense that he’s more of the “gentle giant” type off the field.
9. Julian Edelman
I’m really confused as to how I didn’t know about Julian Edelman until this season. Not only is he one of Tom Brady’s go-to receivers, but I mean, his face.
10. Tom Brady
The one, the only, TOM. Honestly, is his wife the only supermodel or is he one too? It’s unclear. What I’m 100% sure about is Gisele is one lucky lady. We can even forgive him for the Uggs campaign:
Super Bowl XLIX airs Sunday, February 1st at 6:30 p.m. on NBC.
