Game Day Q&A: Safety Clayton Fejedelem

What’s the deal with the hair?
I don’t like cutting my hair during the season. It might be a superstition kind of thing. I just got a few inches cut off, but I tend to just let my hair grow during the entire season. I like the flow out of the back of the helmet.

When was the last time it was military length?
When I graduated from high school and started college. I had short hair my entire life until college.

Who gives you grief about it?
My mom. My mom hates when it’s long and frizzled.
