Twitter Went Crazy When It Saw Chargers QB Justin Herbert’s New Haircut

Twitter went crazy when it saw Justin Herbert's new haircut originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington

Justin Herbert has been excellent for the Los Angeles Chargers since taking over as their starting quarterback, but his squad has dropped three games in a row and lost six of their last seven.

With the losses piling up, the rookie QB decided to make a change. Not a change on the field, though, a change to his appearance.

When Herbert arrived for his weekly Wednesday presser, the quarterback had a short, buzzed haircut, quite the change-up from his signature slicked-back flow.

"Honestly, it was just getting long and it was time to cut it," Herbert said, stating he's not a superstitious guy.

Herbert's haircut seemed to come out of nowhere, and it sent the entire Twitter world into a frenzy.

In honor of this ridiculous haircut, here is my worst haircut story: After HS wrestling practice, me & some buddies decided to shave off all our hair. I didn't tell my parents. Came to the dinner table with a hat… my mom made me take it off. Then screamed. Then she destroyed me. https://t.co/xYuYNYvaKr

Justin Herbert said #Chargers strength and conditioning coach John Lott cut his hair. "He said he was good with the clippers," Herbert said. "I think he did a good job." https://t.co/WFeELdztoM

Justin Herbert became the Chargers’ starting QB because a Chargers staffer stabbed the first-string QB in the lung and somehow still thought it was smart to trust another Chargers employee with scissors https://t.co/Mbx0dbYbzN
