Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has had a busy offseason.

He had surgery to repair an injured ankle, signed a lucrative contract extension that could keep him in New England through the 2019 season, is taking part in Fox’s dating game show “The Choice,” was nominated for a pair of ESPY’s, and will now be featured in ESPN the Magazine’s “Body Issue.”

Gronkowski joins a number of other athletes, including fellow NFL star Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who will be posing for the magazine and display their bodies in the July 13 edition of the magazine.

With the Olympics around the corner, a number of athletes set to take center stage in London will be featured as well.

Previously, Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara has been featured.
