Well here’s something that you just don’t hear that often…a 24 year old … male virgin … that’s an NFL player. Granted we got used to the whole Tim Tebow thing, but it’s still rare. Giants CB Prince Amukamara has revealed that he is a virgin. Some people even call him a certain nickname because of it.

Via NewsDay:
Prince Amukamara is engaged and is planning to get married in mid-February, right after the Super Bowl. It turns out that will be a bigger deal than we knew.
In an interview with Muscle & Fitness Magazine, which named him to its 2013 All-Stregth Team, the Giants’ starting cornerback talks about how he has never even had a sip of alcohol in his life and proudly proclaims himself to be a virgin.
“Some people call me the black Tim Tebow,” Amukamara said. “Yeah, I am a virgin. I’m not ashamed to say that.”
Amukamara explained why he has not partaken in either pursuit.
“I grew up Catholic, so it just started out as one of those things,” he said. “I’d think, ‘If I do this, maybe I can get to heaven,’ so I said no drinks, no sex, all the big things. As I grew up, I realized that’s not what it’s about. It’s about having a relationship with Jesus. It’s not about ‘Don’t do this. Don’t do that.’ But still, it’s just one of those things I haven’t done, and I don’t see any benefit to doing it. You’re always reading about people getting DUIs. So many bad things that happen and wind up in the paper are alcohol-related, so by not drinking, it saves me, my team, and my family a lot of trouble.”
That doesn’t mean Amukamara will never do them.
“I told my fiancé that I’ll probably take my first drink at my bachelor party,” Amukamara said. “I don’t know if I will.”
Salute man. It takes a ton of determination and restraint in order to do that, but even more courage to be a man and admit it.
