Jason Witten is making big changes this year, and that includes his hair.

Witten decided to give up broadcasting for now to return to the NFL. He is being inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame and showed up with a new look when he spoke with the media on Saturday.

What makes this significant? As Charles Barkley would say, Witten finally decided to come on home.

The tight end had thinning hair throughout the end of his NFL career and addressed it before debuting on “Monday Night Football.” This is how he looked less than a year ago:

He’s ditched whatever he was doing before and has gone natural, embracing his new look. We commend him for that and for feeling confident about his style. There’s no shame in losing one’s hair — it happens to the best of us. It’s just surprising to see him embrace this look considering we know just how sensitive of a topic it’s been for him.
