Philadelphia Eagles OT Todd Herremans rocking haircut inspired by show ‘Vikings’

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Todd Herremans showed up to training camp this week with a fantastic new haircut. The nine-year veteran told Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal that the new look was inspired by “Vikings,” but he’s not talking about the ones in purple uniforms from Minnesota. Herremans is a big fan of the History Channel show “Vikings.”

Here’s another look at his unique hairstyle, which has created quite the buzz (no pun intended) early on:

And for those who are wondering where the inspiration came from, here’s what the hairstyle looks like on the show:

The ponytail obviously has a little catching up to do, but Herremans is on the right track. The good news is he’s not a rookie, so his hair is always going to look better than some of the rookies around the league who have already fallen victim to the haircut hazing ritual. A bad haircut that you have control over isn’t the same as a bad hazing haircut.
