New player photos on Patriots.com

They've updated the player photos.

I think a lot of folks will be relieved by Brady's photo.



And then there's this guy, who a lot of us are hoping will make an, ahem, impact on defense.

Spikes looks like he could be a mean SOB even as a rookie. Imagine the look after a couple of seasons?
So how many " Brandons" does that make for this team, anyways?

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

Why are people relieved by Brady's photo? It's an old photo with a black jersey photoshoped over it.

Some are funny. Edelman and Tate look like mug-shots. Slater wins for happiest to be there.

i was about to say, i don't think he's gotten that desperately needed haircut yet.

I like long hair.

Wait, that sounds a bit... weird.

Some people have an opinion that the hair style/length has an impact on his play.

dreads need to be outlawed in the NFL. They look stupid and if i where playing i would tackle them by dragging them down by their rediculous locks.

Isn't there a rule against that? Or is it just having the hair over the name plate?

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.

I knew there was a change but couldn't remember exactly what it was
