NFL BALLERS TEAM UP WITH R&B DIVAS IN VIBE SHOOT

VIBE has paired up “six of the hottest NFL Players with five of R&B’s sexiest female artists”. In theory, this is a great idea. The worlds of sports and music often cross paths… and so do beautiful women and handsome athletes. But I have to say that the execution for this photoshoot was quite lacking. First, the shoot seems to have taken place at football mecca Stony Brook University. Second, the styling of the shoot is just dudes in workout/football gear with women in crazy heels/boots. LeToya Luckett, Adrienne Bailon, and Teairra Mari may all be wearing the same thigh-high boots. The guys almost seem like props… or that they should be photoshopped out. The shoot is seriously lacking in the sexy department. No wonder VIBE went out of business. Also, Will Demps isn’t even on a football team now. He’s going to have to turn part-time modeling into his full-time job. We’ve got six pictures from the shoot after the jump.
