  • Eli Manning

    Two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning confidently flaunts his elite dad bod on the beach.

    The dad bod movement has swept the nation. In an effort to celebrate the best dad bod's in sports, we've compiled the ultimate list.

  • Peyton Manning

    Like his brother, Peyton Manning employs the dad bod. Peyton doesn't have the hard body of younger players yet still is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.

    Credit: USATSI
  • Ben Roethlisberger

    Ben Roethlisberger's stature makes it difficult to sack him on the gridiron. There's also no truth to the rumor that Big Ben added the "berger" part to his last name after realizing he does, in fact, have a dad bod.

    Credit: Getty
  • Prince Fielder

    Prince Fielder's dad, Cecil, led the dad bod movement before its time. Prince is so proud of his physique that he appeared on ESPN The Magazine's body issue.

    Credit: USATSI
  • Zach Randolph & Marc Gasol

    It's not often that two gifted athletes have so much in common. The Grizzlies front-court duo of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol represent the most fearsome dad-bod tandem in the league.

    Credit: USATSI
  • Phil Mickelson

    Phil Mickelson's dad bod has helped him earn five majors, and countless fans on the PGA Tour.

    Credit: USATSI
  • Jon Daly

    Jon Daly had a dad bod before it was a viral sensation. Don't be alarmed when you catch a shirtless Daly on the golf course with a lit cigarette.

    Credit: USATSI
  • Jay Cutler

    Jay Cutler and his wife Kristin Cavallari are adapting to parenthood, and that includes the Cutman embracing his dad bod while catching some rays.

    Credit: Getty
  • Glen Davis

    Don't be confused when you hear Glen "Big Baby" Davis has a dad bod. He'll surprise you with every athletic move he pulls off on the court.

    Credit: Getty
  • Matthew Stafford

    Like fellow No. 1 overall draft picks, it seems to be a rite of passage to have a dad bod as a quarterback in the NFL. Stafford's wife, Kelly, seems to be a fan.

    Credit: Getty
  • Aaron Rodgers

    There's no word yet on how Olivia Munn is warming up to Aaron Rodgers' impressive dad bod.

    Credit: Getty
  • Jameis Winston

    If you want to be a successful quarterback in this league you're gonna need a laser, rocket arm, like Manning, and some meat on your bones. Thankfully Winston has both in spades.

    Credit: USATSI
  • Bartolo Colon

    You won't find another pitcher who is proud of their robust dad bod. Colon's body hasn't given up on him yet, he's still pitching in his 40s.

  • Vince Wilfork

    You can have your pick when it comes to defensive linemen with dad bods in the NFL, but Vince Wilfork's is on another level.

    Credit: USATSI
  • Sebastian Janikowski

    Sebastian Janikowski represents the last kicker to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The Raiders probably confused him for a linebacker with that dad bod.

  • Pablo Sandoval

    Pablo Sandoval has always had a problem with maintaining his weight. After signing a huge contract with the Red Sox, those concerns were amplified. He still moves pretty well for being a big Kung-Fu Panda.
