CLEVELAND, Ohio - Myles Garrett picked a fine time to knock 10 pounds off his chiseled frame.

The Browns’ Pro Bowl defensive end is one of 21 athletes appearing naked in the 11th annual ESPN the Magazine “Body Issue’’ that will be on newsstands Sept. 6.

An on-line photo gallery will available Wednesday.

Garrett is sans clothing in Joshua Tree, California, where he’s photographed rock climbing and standing on rock piles. ESPN provided cleveland.com with some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot, as seen below.

It marks the final print edition of the magazine after 21 years, but ESPN plans to continue the “Body Issue,’’ which aims to celebrate the athletic form, in other formats.

The roster this year includes Cleveland native Jason Kelce and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line: Brandon Brooks, Lane Johnson, Isaac Seumalo and Halapoulivaati Vaitai.

"We were over in the player parking lot ... so some of the taller trucks (on the highway) were looking over the overpass,’’ Brooks told reporters in Philadelphia about the photo shoot.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver and former Ohio State Buckeye Michael Thomas is the only other NFL player on the list.

Others are PGA pro Brooks Koepka; Hall of Fame basketball player and current analyst Nancy Lieberman; U.S. Women’s National Team soccer player Kelley O’Hara, who won the World Cup this summer in France; surfer Lakey Peterson; and gymnast Katelyn Ohashi.

Garrett, thanks to his drop in weight and training with UFC Heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic, is poised for a huge season.
