Wilfork tweeted Tuesday asking former teammate and New England Patriots star QB Tom Brady to have his model wife Gisele call him.
Brady replied with a simple hashtag, #Beastmode.
"I know I don't have the six-packs and the eight-packs and all that... but I'm perfectly fine with what I am," Wilfork told ESPN earlier this month. "If people can look at me, look at a guy that's 325-plus doing an issue like this, I'm pretty sure that they might have a little confidence after seeing that it's ok to be who you are."
The body issue will be available online July 6 and on stands July 8.
📸 time for number 7⃣5⃣.
