Typically shrouded in his signature long-sleeve t-shirt, it's easy to forget that McVay used to be a college football player. He reminded fans of his gridiron history — and physique — while posing for pictures with wife, Veronika, during the offseason.

The McVays boarded a boat off the coast of France during the summer, gallivanting around the European nation. McVay showcased a shredded build while on board, with a photo of him posted on Veronika's Instagram going viral.

Predictably, onlookers wondered whether McVay was readying for a return to the gridiron. His physique stood out even when compared to the hulking figures he sees on the sidelines and in the locker room.

Some of those figures noticed their coach's commitment to gym work, including reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford.

"Oh, yeah," Stafford said on "60 Minutes" when asked whether he had see the viral photo of his head coach. "We all were like, 'We better hit the weight room, because this guy's shredded.'"
