Isn't there a rule saying if hair is longer then shoulder length then it's legal to tackle a player using their hair? (as seen on the image you posted)

Brady's had the same photo for years. Same with Moss.

Yeah, but I am sure since the Larry Johnson tackle on Polomalu, something was put in place, but I think it was just that hair needs to be tucked away, but no-one does.

It is hard enough to tackle in the NFL good luck trying to do it by aiming for one small part of the body.


If my memory serves me correct there was a minor tweak to the rules regarding hair which makes it illegal to grab and pull back ward like a horse collar but that so long as you dont pull the player backwards over over his own legs you are good.

I believe they tried to ban the dreads but were blocked by the PA as players claimed it was a cultural thing and the league had no rights to interfere.
