Samoan cutie Esera Tuaolo, 41, spent 9 years in the NFL as a defensive lineman - and even played in the 1998 Superbowl. When he retired in 2002, Tuaolo came out of the closet - becoming only the 3 NFL player to do so. He has since worked with the NFL to combat homophobia in the league, and is a board member of the Gay and Lesbian Athletics Foundation.
