WATCH: Who Dat? New Orleans DB Darren Sharper Talks Super Bowl

Who dat? For the first time in 42 years, the New Orleans Saints are headed to the Super Bowl. Star safety, defensive back and football hotness—he stripped down for VIBE recently—Darren Sharper helped lead the Saints to its 31-28 victory over his former Minnesota Vikings. Says Sharper: "We just kept fighting and fighting."

To the chant of "Who Dat", Sharper took the Halas trophy around the Superdome to show off to Saints fans.

Four years ago, the Superdome was the grim setting of mass despair and chaos after Hurricane Katrina. Last night it was a giant party and a sea of black and gold.

The Saints will face the Indianapolis Colts on February 7 in Miami for Super Bowl XLIV. A few more photos and watch Sharper talk about facing the Colts—oh and Sharper's voice is a perfect fir for the body and swagger—AFTER THE JUMP ...

Testosterone Thursday: Will Demps and Kerry Rhodes Strip Down

The September issue of VIBE, the last of the magazine's print edition, previews beefcake of the football season. "Angels in the End Zone" was lensed by fashion photographer Ben Watts and pairs football's hottest jocks with several R&B starlets.

Football and modeling hotness Will Demps strips down in the end zone. He's seen with former Destiny's Child Letoya Luckett, who cast the super sexy footballer in her "Torn" music video. Both Letoya and Will have come out strongly for gay rights and marriage equality. Pretty cool, right?

For another helping of beefcake, here is New York Jets' safety Kerry Rhodes. The lucky girl is Adrienne Bailon formerly of 3LW. Darren Sharper, Devin Thomas and much more thick and sexy beefcake, AFTER THE JUMP.
