If you’ve always wanted to own an NFL player’s dreadlock, this is your chance. Someone is selling one of Takkarist McKinley’s dreads on eBay.
Takk McKinley found his lost dreadlock after a game ... on eBay
This would be an unusual piece of memorabilia.
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
The Falcons rookie tweeted a screenshot of the auction. The listing was apparently posted by a Ford Field employee who found Takk’s hair after the game.
The seller says the dreadlock is a “MUST HAVE for Falcons fans and people who are into voodoo.” He also found defensive end Brooks Reed’s mouth guard, and he’s willing to throw that in for free.
Bidding starts at $1, with a $5 shipping fee. That sounds affordable, but you’ll have competition. The highest bid right now is $455, and 52 people are vying for it, and those numbers keep going up quickly. Plus, if Takk’s got his heart set on getting his dread back, he can probably outbid you after signing his rookie contract.
Takk deleted his social media for a while at the beginning of the season, and he told the Atlanta media he just needed to focus on football. But Takk’s back, and that’s a good thing, because otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten to enjoy this very strange eBay listing.
