Drew Brees made a ton of people do a double take on Thursday night. The future Hall of Famer performed well on television as expected, but nobody could focus on that because of his hair.
“I’m not gonna lie, I see the guys warming up behind me I feel like I should be warming up”, said Drew Brees as the show kicked off.
Brees made his first appearance on NBC with almost as much hair he had on his head the night he held up the Super Bowl trophy in Miami.
Twitter lost its mind.
“Drew Brees’ hair for NFL comeback player of the year,” ESPN’s Field Yates wrote on Twitter.
“As an openly bald man, I preferred openly balding Drew Brees. We’ve lost another one,” Twitter user Dan Kelley wrote.
