OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- If Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman gets an extra step on a cornerback for that touchdown catch, it could be the result of dropping some pounds this offseason.
The lost weight didn't come from a diet or increased exercise. It was a haircut.
Perriman doesn't know why he decided to clip off his signature dreadlocks, which hung below his shoulders. He just woke up one morning and got rid of them.
