How Many Pounds of Hair Does Sammy Watkins Have On His Head After A Game or Practice?

[BillsImpossible]

As Larry Felser used to say, it's one of those opinionated days.

Serious question: If Sammy Watkins shaved the cat off his head after a game, how much do you think it would weigh?

In 3-2-1 Contact! I loved that show as a kid...

Sweat produces a lot of moisture in the hair of any athlete. Water is quite heavy.

After every NFL game (and practice), every player gets weighed so teams know how much fluid (hydration) was lost.

That's a huge head of hair on Sammy Watkins.

How much weight in water/sweat does it hold after a game?

I think it is a legit question. The proper amount of necessary intake of fluids could be skewed by the amount of hair water retention.

Do teams factor that in to their hydration analysis?

If Sammy Watkins or any other player is carrying an extra 5 pounds of water weight or more in their hair, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the player and the team without carrying the extra weight?

Swimmers shave every hair on their body because they know 1 hundredth of a second or less could be the difference between winning and losing.

The NFL isn't a game of inches anymore, it's a game of centimeters.

His foot was in/out of bounds by fractions of an inch, the ball didn't touch the ground, inconclusive evidence, the player's knee was not down, etc.

All determined by hundredths of a second or less, or just a hair.

I am NOT going to start Yo' Momma Jokes however that is the last time I saw that much hair.

I posted this last year. One guy cut his dreadlocks off and lost 2-4 LB's of weight. I can't remember. They handicap HORSES by this amount. So stop being a self conceited idiot and cut your hair, not to mention wind resistance. The guy was clocked at like 35MPH during a game, he could be even faster.

Yeah as I am a woman but have had three to four inches of hair cut off at one point. But it did feel good to have it cut off. You can feel air on the heck and hair even.

If I got my back shaved, I'd be down at least a pound. You're a woman ?? You must be convoluted.

Ya'll are just jealous you can't grow a magnificent mane like me and Sammy. Haters gonna hate.

Julio Jones appears to side with the OP.

FACT: Players with hair sticking out their helmet look way cooler.

Sammy's only issue is staying healthy, and getting Tyrod to throw more 50/50 balls his way.

It's hair dude, it may add a half a pound at most? The helmet already weighs 5 pounds.

<shrug> to each their own I guess. I think it looks stupid and girlish but that's just me

Perhaps the extra lbs of hair are causing stress on his feet and hammies.

If only he had a head like Steve Harvey !

After watching that, I still wonder...how much do all of those dreads weigh?

I would guess and say Julio Jones had at least 2 pounds of dry hair cut off his head.

Collect all of those dreads off the barber shop floor, put them in water, take them out and weigh it.

Each dread lock is like a sponge. After a game or practice, Julio's hair had to weigh at least 5 pounds.

That is like a MLB player going up to the plate and swinging the bat with a doughnut still on the stick.

Sammy Watkins is playing with a "doughnut," on his head.

No, they don't. They look like big lesbian women playing football.

First ballot hall-of-fame mullet.

[BillsImpossible]

I think you could make about 3, maybe 4 dreads out of McMahon's mullet. The whole scalp.

Black men naturally have thicker hair. Their hair follicles defy gravity.

One would think that gravity alone would cause any man or woman's hair to grow downward, but that's not true.

African hair is totally different than Caucasian hair.

That is not taboo.

It's true and my great friend Dianna agrees. She's black and beautiful!
