They did not. They shaved his eyebrows instead.

Exactly. The end justifies the means.
Eyebrows will grow back way faster than the fro. Easy choice.

Yup easy choice. I think the hair cuts are a funny right of passage, but nice they guve them a choice. To each thier own, but think it is ridiculous that aome people, like whomever was on radio with Polumbus this morning, make such a deal of it. 2 weeks before my freshmen year at CU they shaved our heads in our ROTC boot camp and it didn't bother me at all.
The best thing about the Tebow era was the Friar Tuck haircut.
That was the haircut I got Jr year of football.
Wear a CU t-shirt with the Broncos hat and you might have better luck.

That is definitely the plan. Wife is gonna be all CU gear too. Sometimes I make fun of people who wear team gear that doesn't belong to either team playing... but this is a different case.
It’s also preseason.
Because it's a limited time thing, usually not malicious, and something everyone goes through. Rookies carry pads, they get their hair carved up, they are in charge of organizing position group stuff, getting coffee, they pick up the dinner check at a nice restaurant once, etc etc. We aren't talking about frat house hazing here, with physical or verbal abuse. R-E-L-A-X guys.

I am relaxed. I'm not out railing against hazing. I just happen to think it is dumb to force fellow adults to spends thousands of dollars on other folks, or to shave their head or whatever. If everyone wants to participate, then go for it - but it seems silly to me in a what is supposed to be a professional business.
What about a "right of passage" so to speak? Presumably, the Vets have all been through the same hazing.
As a Broncos tradition, this made more sense prior to free agency.
Maybe I meant similar hazing? This isn't unique to the Broncos... Baker Mayfield was forced to rent an RV for the QBs to hang out in during Training Camp, and the other Rookie is forced to keep the fridge stocked and cleaned, among other things. The Rookies on every team are forced to get on stage in front of the team and sing a song or whatever. These are lighthearted hazing rituals that happen on every team, every year. Every player had their turn.
The picking up the check is actually abused and messed up IMO. The others are harmless, but that one really should go away.
Okay. Then how come I get hazed on this board everyday?
Depends on who the Rookie is, IMO. Phillip Lindsay who received a $15k signing bonus as an UDFA having to pick up an expensive tab would be ****ed up for sure. Bradley Chubb, who signed a 4 year deal worth $27m fully guaranteed, having to pick up a $10-$15k dinner check is not a big deal.
