According to The Wall Street Journal roughly 10 percent of NFL players have long-hair. And 104 of the 164 long-haired players are on the defensive side of the ball.

One reason for that is it’s legal to tackle a guy by his wig. Remember when Larry Johnson dragged Troy Polamalu down by the mane?

It probably hurt like a sonofabitch but Troy didn’t cut his hair. Not when it can make him easy money in shampoo commercials.
