Cardinals running back Andre Ellington has dreads -- err... he HAD dreads, before he met Jason Babin of the Jaguars.
Jason Babin rips Andre Ellington’s hair out
OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH
It's been noted many times by announcers that a players' hair is part of their uniform and thus defensive players are able to grab it -- famously, Larry Johnson tackled Troy Polamalu by his hair:
But I don’t think we’ve ever seen a dude literally get his hair get ripped out. I mean, it looks like Babin scalped him. Unfortunately -- or perhaps luckily -- he came out of a pile with it, so we can’t actually see the hair get ripped out.
Update: Ellington says he’s all good:
Hair is all good. Nothing serious. Look worse than it really was. S/o to the dread heads! Will get it stitch back in. Birdgang got the win!
