You may think this is just a complaint or a “hot take” but this is a serious gripe - long hair/dreds/locks/corn rows etc do nothing but invite defenders to pull you down quick or interfere with your ability to concentrate on the game. . Here’s the data:
1) Chris Ivory was yanked down and unable to pick up a first down (which he could have attained if he had shorter hair). As I recall, that was a drive we needed.
2) Clowney was neutralized in this game and, in fact, jumped off sides a few times probably because his hair may have been in the way.
3) Ray Ray McCloud has really nice hair - but it didn’t help him concentrate on the kickoff or the lost punt.
4) Kelvin Benjamin??? One major league catch and 20 other drops or slow routes. He fails to block for fear of messin’ up his hair (or so it seems).
I’m at wits end. Draftees next year should have manageable hair so the players don’t have to worry about it. They should concentrate on football.
