Most people who follow football know who Trevor Lawrence is. He is the star quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has had a decent career. He’s been to a Pro-Bowl once. He has one playoff win. Nothing too crazy. The interesting thing about Lawrence is that he is just as well known for his long blonde hair as he is for his skills on the field.
Fast-forward to now, when all of the teams in the NFL are putting out promotional videos unveiling their 2026 season schedules. When they release these videos, some teams try to be funny. Some try to be cool. Some try to be extra macho. The Jags went for shock factor.
In their schedule release video, Lawrence sits down in a barber chair and proceeds to give out the schedule… along with getting his hair cut. And cut short! The Jaguars’ opponents’ logos were shown as Lawrence’s hair fell to the ground.
And as expected, the Jaguars’ schedule release video sparked mixed reactions online.
Fans online were so conflicted (and butt-hurt) about Lawrence’s new ‘do. The quarterback is known for his long locks, and fans were surprised he’d actually part with his hair just to make a schedule release video for his team. A rumor (I made up) has it that some were even contemplating giving up their season tickets because of this.
Well, luckily for fans, it was all a prank.
The Jaguars released a second video revealing the truth about the schedule release video.
Wait a minute. The hair was gone. We all saw it on the floor. I don’t understand. Is this AI? Is this a glitch in the matrix? Did Andrew Tate have anything to do with this? Did Keanu Reeves?
Nooooo. Lawrence wore a wig over his own hair, so the long locks are still intact. “This is not my real hair,” Lawrence admitted in the opening seconds of the second video. The video shows Lawrence’s real hair being put up in a ponytail with a head wrap going on top of his hair for the wig to be placed. And Thank God! We can all breathe now.
Lawrence admitted he’s “not really” thought about cutting his hair short to what the release video showed, especially because his wife Marissa likes his longer hair.
“I’ve just gotten so used to it like this,” Lawrence said. “Marissa likes it longer, too. She’s seen me with short hair. She’s known me forever. So she doesn’t want me to cut it.”
“I would. I’m not—I don’t know. I just don’t know what I would do if I cut it, like what style? I don’t even know,” Lawrence continued. “It’s just easier to keep the same thing you’ve always had.”
The hair crew did a good job. Even some of Lawrence’s teammates thought the wig looked like Lawrence’s real hair. They tricked most fans watching the video at home, too. Some of his teammates had a good laugh looking at their quarterback with short locks.
So everybody can relax. It’s gonna be OK. Lawrence and his long locks will be back on the field in 2026 for his sixth season in Jacksonville.
