Justin Herbert’s buzz cut generated lots of buzz on social media last year.
While the 23-year-old Los Angeles Chargers quarterback may still be a fresh face to many fans, some recognize him thanks to his long, golden locks.
But all that changed last November when Herbert showed up to a press conference with a radical new buzz cut.
The dramatic change came courtesy of Chargers strength and conditioning coach John Lott, who told Herbert he had experience cutting hair. Albeit, his child’s hair.
But Herbert, who signed a $27 million contract with the Chargers, admitted he “didn’t really want to pay for a haircut, to be honest.”
The former University of Oregon graduate has since hair grown his hair back, which means this season he won’t be the subject of memes, such as:“Went from stealing your girl to stealing your lunch money,” or, “Unfortunately Justin Herbert is OUT this week vs the Jets because he got a C+ on his AP Bio test and got grounded.”
During a previous interview withSports Illustrated, Herbert said he was a fan of Lott’s haircutting skills.
“I think he did a great job,” Herbert said. “I wasn’t looking for anything fancy and so just trimming it down. He did that job. So, pleased with it.”
