Poor Will Compton, although based on his Twitter feed, the Tennessee Titans linebacker is taking the roasting he’s receiving in stride.
He spent Christmas Eve getting destroyed by both the internet and his Titans teammates for a new coif in which he shaved all the way around the bottom of his hair and left a bunch on top. He called it a “low skin fade” and suggested it might have been inspired by Peaky Blinders.
The Titans’ Twitter account had the most fun with it, though. They tweeted a mock injury report in which he was doubtful for the Week 16 game against the Green Bay Packers with “haircut” as an injury.
Here’s the look plus the Titans’ tweet:

Some roasting from his teammates:
Rodger Saffold on that Compton haircut: "There are no words to describe what he was thinking when he got that. … It's just a terrible, terrible look. And you guys can tell him I said that."

A.J. Brown on Will Compton's apparently bad haircut: "It's horrible. He needs to start over. Cut it all off and start over."
