In the Old Testament book of Judges the warrior Samson's strength was all in the locks of his hair. And while he lost strength by having his long locks cut, a young Buffalo Bills wide receiver, may have found a new strength.
Stevie Johnson entered the league in 2008 as a 7th round draft pick out of the University of Kentucky with long dreadlocks. Now three years later and quickly becoming a young playmaker in the NFL, Stevie no longer carries the long dreads. He now sports a brohawk that is becoming a favorite amongst fans of the Buffalo Bills. It seems as each week passes in the NFL season, Johnson has a new design shaved into the sides of his brohawk. So far this season, the young wide receiver has donned the Bills logo, his jersey number (13), his nickname "Styles", "CF" which represents Certified Flyguyz, and the quote he made more famous after his 3 touchdown performance against the Bengals, "Why So Serious."
Though I wouldn't credit his breakout season to a change in hairdo, but rather hard work and determination, the hairdo has won the Bills fans over. Two fans have even gone as far as sending out tweets to Stevie (@StevieJohnson13) that they too would don the hawk and/or designs into the sides of their hair if he (Johnson) makes the Pro Bowl this season. As fans conclude their portion of Pro Bowl voting, which ends on December 20, 2010; tune in to see if Stevie Johnson makes the Pro Bowl and follow these two fans (@homeslice5484 and @CaptOTM) to see them shave the hawk and designs into their hair.
