A behind-the-scenes clip released the day after the original video confirmed the haircut was staged. The quarterback said the production team handled the video well even though the haircut did not look good. Teammates noted that the short haircut made the quarterback resemble a Disney character.
The team is offering fans the chance to obtain the wig through the auction. No date or platform details for the auction were provided in the announcement.
“I think our team did a great job with the video. I mean, the haircut wasn't great. It didn't look good, but it looked real.”
