Ravens running back Willis McGahee took part in the PETA anti-fur ad by posing nude and showing off his tattoos for the “Ink, Not Mink” campaign in Baltimore on Dec. 14.
McGahee stated that his involvement with PETA was to bring awareness about the cruelty to animals. Although not a vegetarian, McGahee does not wear fur, is an animal lover and grew up around dogs, especially his cousin's pit bulls.
When asked about the Michael Vick dog fighting scandal, McGahee said, “The thing about that is you have to forget about the past, it happened and it’s over. I'm sure he [Vick] is doing a lot of good things now including animal rights and has learned from his mistakes.”
While getting prepared for the naked photo shoot, McGahee said, “I’m very confident with my body, so there was no pressure."
This is not the only worthy cause that McGahee supports. In 2009 he won the Humanitarian of the Year Award for his charitable contributions. Also, McGahee has his own mentoring organization, CoachWillis.org. Today, Dec, 15 you can help make a kid's wish come true through his foundation by clicking here and enter wish list #30733944 or follow McGahee on twitter for more information.
Fellow NFL Player Chad Ochocinco also posed nude for a PETA ad and McGahee said he knows Chad Johnson personally (referring to Chad by his original last name). Since Chad was also a former contestant on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ McGahee was asked if he will also be on the hit TV show.
“I don’t know, you will have to ask my publicist. I can dance too,” he said.
He’s got my vote. How about you?
(Stay tuned for McGahee’s PETA ad due in the early New Year)

Great article, Gloria! Willis is one of my favorite Ravens players, and his jersey is my lucky one that I always wear :) It's refreshing to hear that he is an animal lover, and against animal cruelty.
