Broncos’ Eric Decker and pregnant wife Jessie James take provocative pictures for GQ Magazine

Denver Broncos receiver Eric Decker loves his wife, country singer Jessie James. Decker is also not afraid to display his attraction to the future mother of his child.

Decker and James spoke with GQ Magazine about their reality show “Eric & Jessie: Game On," and that interview will appear in the February issue. They spoke openly about trying to manage their long-distance relationship due to their busy schedules. The couple shared their excitement about the impending birth of their first child.

In addition, Decker and James posed for several provocative pictures together to complement the article.

Props to Decker and James for embracing their pregnancy.

It would have been easy for James to stay in hiding and take the traditional “look at the weight she lost” pictures. Instead, she is willing to expose her body, and open herself up to scrutiny, by posing for pictures in GQ Magazine.

When you consider how much negative attention some athletes garner, these photographs beat mug shots any day.

Decker might have a lot to gain if the Broncos make the Super Bowl. He's developing into a star at receiver, with 87 catches for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, and he has 24 touchdowns in the last two seasons. If the Broncos win Sunday they'll go to the Super Bowl, and players like Decker will reach an even larger mainstream consciousness.

Given that Decker and James might be the most photogenic couple in the NFL, a week of Decker and his wife mugging in New York for the enormous amount of media that will be there won't hurt their public profile or the ratings for the upcoming reality show. The GQ pictures won't either.
