Chargers QB Justin Herbert's new haircut sends social media into frenzy

Justin Herbert's luscious locks are gone. 

The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback showed up to the team facility on Wednesday looking a little different with a fresh haircut. It's safe to say the internet had a fun time discussing his new hairdo. 

One person even compared him to a young Anakin Skywalker. Another compared him to Scut Farkus from the 1983 film "A Christmas Story." 

Here are some other hilarious reactions to his haircut:

Herbert, who is 1-7 in his rookie campaign with the Chargers, appears to be shaking things up. Maybe it's an effort to try and turn things around this weekend, or maybe he just simply wanted to change his look. 

Whatever the case may be, it certainly made for a great Wednesday on social media.
