Here's what happened, via The Kansas City Star:

It was 3 a.m., and Sammy Watkins was wide awake.

Two weeks before he was set to report to his first Chiefs training camp, the wide receiver knew it was time for a change.

So in the middle of the night, he took a pair of clippers and went to work, shearing off the dreads he'd worn for over a decade.

Watkins said he wanted this season to "just be about business" and that he's had the dreads for 12 or 13 years. And teammate Travis Kelce did a double-take when he saw the receiver:

"I definitely had to give him a second look, for sure. It's fitting though. He's a high-character guy, and he just comes in and he goes to work."
