Clay Matthews is known for those long, golden locks of his that spill out of the bottom of his helmet on Sundays. They’ve become such a trademark for Matthews that they’ve even secured him hair-product endorsements. But as it turns out, long hair is a look Matthews even had during his youth. Only back then the look was part of tremendous spikey-haired mullet:

Matthews shared the above photo of him in kindergarten on Twitter on Saturday. Everything about it — the hair, the tucked-in shirt, the pose, the autumn leaves — is awesome. I think this qualifies Matthews for a first-ballot mullet hall-of-famer.
UPDATE: Matthews later said that was not him in the picture. It’s actually of MMA fighter Justin Lawrence. Still funny.
