As is tradition with the Denver Broncos rookie class, the veterans of the team get to give silly haircuts to the first year players that were either drafted or signed as college free agents.
It is a yearly tradition for the Denver Broncos. Every year after training camp concludes, the members of the Denver Broncos give their rookie teammates a very unique memory.
Yes, it is rookie haircut time for the draft picks and the college free agents that have signed with the team in the offseason. For players like Devontae Booker, Will Parks, and Adam Gotsis, they have or will have their hair cut by some of their teammates that have been with the team longer.

Perhaps the greatest haircut that I have seen so far is Connor McGovern’s. The team cut his hair in the back into the shape of a rat in order to complete an “actual” rat tail haircut.
This rookie hazing of the Denver Broncos has been going on for some time now. Some of the most funniest ones that I have seen were the hair cuts of Tim Tebow, Cody Latimer and Matt Paradis.
Take a look at some of the haircuts down below. Some of them may require you to click on the link to see them. It appears as of right now that Demarcus Ware and T.J. Ward have been responsible for some of the haircuts to the rookies.

As of this post, the only rookies I have yet to see get their haircuts are Justin Simmons and Paxton Lynch. However, it is believed that Mark Sanchez will be doing Paxton’s hair at some point.
The point of the haircuts is to have some good, clean fun. I believe it allows the team to bond while showing off a bit of the veteran’s creative side when it comes to cutting hair. With the look of these haircuts, I do not see the occupation of a barber in their future.
With training camp to the fans officially closed, it is time to get ready for San Francisco on Saturday. Keep it here at Predominantly Orange as we keep you updated with all things during the preseason.
