Jack Mewhort appeared in the 2015 ESPN The Magazine Body Issue. Excerpts from an article by Doug Lesmerises:
Entering his second season in the NFL, Mewhort is featured with two Indianapolis Colts teammates in ESPN The Magazine's "Body Issue." It's not quite like Kevin Love's appearance on the cover.
As Mewhort told ESPN, when he was invited to appear in the issue, "I thought I was getting punked."
