Lamar Jackson is getting roasted on social media after sharing a photo of his new hairstyle.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback fell short in the playoffs again this year but was the MVP favorite for most of the season before losing out to Josh Allen.
He will be back in the hunt for a Super Bowl ring in 2025 because he desperately needs one to go with his MVPs. Switching up his look might do the trick, or it might not, but he probably feels like it’s worth a shot.
As such, Jackson took to Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a photo to his Stories showing him in a barber’s chair with his hair straightened out.
Check it out below:
As you may have suspected, the post drew lots of reactions from fans online.
One fan compared the QB to Outkast’s Andre 3000, but most of them compared him to NBA forward Jimmy Butler, who did something similar to his hair for Media Day a few seasons ago.
“Bro out here looking like Andre 3000,” a comment read.

Lamar Jackson And Jimmy Butler have one thing in common: they’re both yet to win a championship.
Butler, though, has been to the NBA Finals twice, leading the Miami Heat there in 2020 and 2023. Jackson hasn’t found himself in a position to win a Super Bowl, having failed to make it to the big game after several attempts, but he’s certainly got the talent to do so.
Let’s see how far he gets next season.
