ASHBURN — A hairstyle nine years in the making was gone in 30 minutes.
In the offseason, Rob Kelley decided it was time to cut off his dreadlocks. After an injury-plagued 2017, the Redskins running back wanted a fresh start — so he opted for his first haircut in nine years.
Normally, Kelley said, barbers will test the waters by trimming the neckline, just in case of any last-second doubts. His barber didn’t do that.
“He started at the front and cut like right here,” Kelley said, pointing to his closely cropped hairline.
