In a surprise that had everyone talking on social media, Drew Brees made his debut as an analyst on NBC and it wasn’t just his football knowledge that had everyone talking. Fans were quick to notice something different about the 45 year old Super Bowl MVP—his hair.
Yes, Drew Brees’ hair was the topic of the internet. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback, known for his bald spot during his playing days, was on camera with more hair than we’ve ever seen and the internet went wild. Tweets and memes flooded in with fans joking about what kind of magic or hair restoration he must have used.
Did Drew Brees just run to the hair salon for a touchdown?
one Twitter user asked.
Drew Brees’ hairline is MVP tonight
another tweeted.
But it wasn’t all jokes. Many viewers loved seeing Brees in his new role with the same energy and swagger he had on the field. His commentary was sharp and knowledgeable and showed his deep understanding and love of football. But even as he was breaking down plays and strategies, the online conversation kept coming back to one point: that hair.
Celebrity transformations are nothing new on the internet and Brees’ new look seems to have hit the sweet spot of sports and pop culture. Some fans shared before and after pics of him from his playing days to now, while others just congratulated him on his debut with humor.
Drew Brees hasn’t commented on the viral topic himself and is focused on bringing his A-game to his new career in broadcasting. Whether it’s advanced styling, a subtle procedure or just life after retirement, one thing is for sure, Brees has entered the world of sports broadcasting with a bang and a great head of hair to go with it.
Now that we’ve seen more of him, one question will remain: Is Drew Brees’ commentary as good as the haircut? Only time will tell but we know this much, his debut was memorable for more than one reason.
