NFL Players ask, 'Does this jersey make me look fat?'

The new Nike "body-contoured fit" jersey is causing some of the heavier players in the NFL to feel self-conscious. San Francisco 49ers lineman Alex Boone, for example, is complaining that the jersey makes him look fat when in fact he isn't. There are plenty of other 300-pound plus men joining in and complaining that the jerseys are uncomfortable, especially when they get wet and tighten. They say that the uniforms need different material for the big men, and overall just need to be bigger.
