Let’s be honest: although many of us claim to love sports, one of our biggest motivating factors to watch a game is often our desire to check out the cute guys we know we’ll see. Whether it’s those huge arms or those washboard abs, we can’t help but enjoy watching these men in action. There’s also no denying that football pads and jerseys are among some of the most complementary articles of clothing on an athletic man’s body. See our guide to the Super Bowl before you sit down to watch the game this Sunday. But if you find yourself losing interest in the football, even with all your new-found expertise, then these five cuties should keep you entertained.

Why we love him: Tom Brady is sure to keep Sunday’s game interesting considering it’s his fifth Super Bowl appearance. Brady is wears the number 12, which has highest number of wins in Super Bowl history for any number worn by a quarterback. Another interesting fact about Brady is that with this season’s stats, he joined an elite group of QBs as one of four players in NFL history to reach 5,000 passing yards in a single season. In addition to being an extremely talented player on the field, Brady has both style and poise that drives us all crazy. No wonder supermodel Gisele married him.
Team: New York Giants
Age: 25
Position: Wide Receiver
Number: 80
Why we love him: Cruz has a smile that can turn any woman’s head. Once he catches your eye, his hot bod is sure to maintain your interest. If you haven’t heard his name yet, you will soon. Cruz hasn’t seen a lot of playing time this season due to a hamstring injury in the 2010 season, but be sure to keep an eye out for him on the sidelines.

Number: 85
Why we love him: Ochocinco not only keeps us entertained with his athletic performance on the field, but he also knows how to work it off the field with his sexy dance moves. After seeing him on Dancing with the Stars, we couldn’t help but fall in love with him. Watch closely, and you could see some of those hot moves this Sunday.
Team: New England Patriots
Age: 22
Position: Tight End
Number: 87
Why we love him: Gronkowski is the type of boy who reminds us all of our high-school crush on the jock, except he’s all grown up. He’s an attractive, flirtatious boy and tests the waters in everything he does. Rob is a stud on the field; he’s started every game this season. He began his football career by setting records for the most touchdown catches by a tight end in Patriots’ history. Since then he has only become better. Watch out for this boy Sunday as he continues to make a name for himself in the NFL.
