Tom Brady Has Had Way More Hairstyles Than Super Bowl Wins

Here's the long and short of it.

Tom Brady might not be known for his hairstyles ― like fellow football player Troy Polamalu, for instance ― but he sure has had a lot of them.

Over the years, the New England Patriots quarter back has gone from short to long and short again, more times than he’s played in (and won) the Super Bowl. That’s a lot, considering this Sunday he’ll play in the big game for a record ninth time. (Brady also holds the record for most Super Bowl wins and Super Bowl MVP awards.)

Ahead of Sunday’s game, when the Pats will face off against the Los Angeles Rams, take a look back at his changing hairstyles through the years:
