It's often said that every athlete wants to be a musician, but the Feb 18th issue of ESPN: The Magazine brings a few athletes closer to making their dreams an actual reality!

For the music issue, ESPN got 14 athletes to recreate some of the most memorable album covers ever and we have to admit: we did a few double takes once we saw the finished product.

When Cleveland Browns runningback Trent Richardson was picked to participate in the recreation of Run-DMC's Ultimate Run-DMC album cover, he said:

"When I heard about the shoot, I thought, I get to go to LA, and we get to be legends."

We're sure the other participants - including Ryan Lochte as the baby from Nirvana's Nevermind and soccer star Alex Morgan as Katy Perry on One of the Boys - felt the same way.
