Even longtime fans of Hunter will need to get used to his new look, as he began growing his hair out in high school.
The new cut continues a year of new beginnings for Hunter, who has now joined the NFL, entered fatherhood, and cut off a signature hairstyle he had been growing for years.
Hunter could soon explain his decision to switch things up, as he has proven to be a very calculated person in the past.
