Santana Moss Gets A Haircut

Santana Moss has short hair.

Apparently, this is old news. “I had this done right after the season,” Moss tells me. “Just decided it was time for a change.”

So of course I feel kind of unobservant and obtuse, and I’m going over it in my head:

I’ve seen Moss in a Redskins helmet (obviously), and he wears various skullcaps and headcoverings a lot. There’s the cornrows, and those few practices last season when he blew it out completely (pictured below), so maybe I’m forgetting something — and then I notice that, in fact, almost everyone who sees him is just as surprised as I was.

“It makes you look younger,” special teams coach Danny Smith says.

“I know,” Moss responds. “That’s why I almost didn’t do it.”
