Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert got a shocking new haircut and Twitter lost its collective mind.

The Los Angeles Chargers are in the midst of a tough 2-7 season up to this point in 2020. However, there is plenty of excitement for the future with Justin Herbert leading the offense. The rookie ranks in the top half of the NFL in terms of passing yards and is eighth in touchdowns with 19.

Herbert also had the look of a true California quarterback. The word “had” is the key there because he debuted a shocking new haircut Wednesday. See for yourself.

Justin Herbert’s shocking new look

Who knew a haircut would be such big news? The story goes on as he explained the team’s strength and conditioning coach did the cutting for what is Herbert’s first haircut in several years. This change in style broke Twitter in the process.

[whispers] I don’t think Justin Herbert’s hair cut is that bad.

Reactions are mixed to the new look. Comparisons are being made to a young Anakin Skywalker and this may be the debate of the NFL world for the day.

For anyone shaming Justin Herbert’s haircut, what is wrong with you people? He had awesome hair. It’s short now. No reason to shame the kid, he’s still better than all of you at football.

This is all in good fun and Herbert’s comeback to anyone hating on the look is a simple, “I’m in the NFL and you are not.” Maybe the haircut will mark a change in the young man as he continues on during the 2020 season.

i am staunchly pro nonsense on this website but if you’re getting your jokes off about justin herbert’s hair cut you have to disclose your own haircut at 22 and if you owned that 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, these are the rules

Justin Herbert is still only 22 years old so it makes sense that he looks like a high school kid with the new cut. People plenty older play high school students in movies and no one bats an eye.

The long locks are gone and Herbert will see who his true supporters are. He just has to understand there will be some initial shock when you just show up at work one day with a drastic new haircut. That is true for anyone at any job.

Some people spend a ton of money to get a haircut. Herbert just has one of his coaches shave off his signature hair. One thing this shows fans is he is more focused on football than his looks.
