TAMPA — In addition to becoming one of the best centers in the league, Bucs OL Joe Hawley also wants to have the best beard.
Hawley thinks he’s achieved the latter.
“I think you’re looking at it,’’ Hawley said Wednesday, when asked who in the league has the best beard.
Nearly six inches long, Hawley’s beard is the product of 18 months of not shaving. And he’s not the only one who likes it.
“My wife loves it,’’ Hawley said.
Nor is it a nuisance when he’s playing.
“I just fold it over (my chin strap),’’ he said.
