20 Athletes Who Are Absolutely Crushing It Despite Having Dadbods
It's hard to be 100 percent sure how Dadbods took over the Internet, but regardless, the trend has swept across the Web like wildfire.
Question: Who can post pictures of a #Dadbod? Answer: Everyone.
From college bros to Leo DiCaprio, men from all walks of life are riding the Dadbod wave.
And, you know what? It's freaking awesome. Apparently, it's no longer sexy to have an eight-pack and chiseled arms.
No, what's driving women wild now are dudes who clearly have some muscle, but also enjoy a casual beer or 10.
In addition to Leo and every other dude in your life, you know who else has a Dadbod? Some of your favorite sports stars.
Here are 20 athletes who are crushing it, despite having Dadbods.
