Brock Bowers is making a big change after a record-setting rookie season for the Las Vegas Raiders.
He got quite the haircut.
Bowers' hair was threatening to recede already, so he went with the simple option: a shaved head.

Raiders fans all over social media were getting pumped about Bowers' decision.
It shouldn't really impact him on the field one way or the other, but that's OK. He's already a superstar at the tight end position.

As a rookie, Bowers had 1,194 yards receiving. That broke Mike Ditka's long-standing record by 118 yards.
The next record Bowers can set his sights on is the single-season receiving yards record for any tight end. That's held by Chiefs legend Travis Kelce, at 1,416.
ESPN's Seth Walder predicts Bowers to break it, if not this season, than in the next few.
"The start to his career needs no introduction: He had 1,194 receiving yards as a rookie, meaning his upside is literally record-breaking potential," Walder wrote.

The Raiders took Bowers as the No. 13 overall pick out of Georgia in 2024.
People have seen his potential coming since the moment he stepped on campus in Athens as a freshman.
Bowers is 6-foot-4, 230 pounds and even was handed the ball for running plays at times as a rookie.
Now, he's got a legitimate NFL quarterback in Geno Smith, too.
The sky is the limit, especially with a smooth top of the head to keep Bowers light, aerodynamic and ready to dominate the league.
