The NFL has seen its fair share of unique hairstyles over the years. And sometimes it backfires on the athletes with embarrassment and humiliation. However, some of the big names like Patrick Mahomes are one step ahead of the game and tried out the crazy before coming to the NFL. But fans are in shock to see and realise how their favorite NFL players looked before.

And not just the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. Some of the other top QBs in the league would be pretty unrecognisable with their past haircuts. Especially Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence. Dov Kleiman posted a collection of college memorabilia. And fans were shocked to see some of the drastic changes.
