LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez showed his mettle during the U.S. National Team’s campaign at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and now, he’s sharing much more.

Gonzalez has been featured in ESPN the Magazine’s annual Body Issue along with U.S. Women’s International Megan Rapione. In addition to baring all for the magazine, Gonzalez spoke to ESPN reporter Morty Ain about his fitness strategy, his College football scholarship offers in high school, recovering from ACL surgery in 2012 and, of course, his epic Thanksgiving day Saxophone session.

"Being in the Body Issue is a new experience for me. I don't usually hang out naked," said Gonzalez after training on Tuesday. "It was really fun and I'm happy that I did it. It's turning out pretty good and hopefully the fans enjoy it."

The ESPN the Body Issue hits newsstands on July 11.
