Professional athletes are often noted for their unusual pregame attire, especially those in the NFL and NBA.
Although Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Landon Dickerson is a rookie, the former Alabama star decided to get into the act himself ahead of the Eagles’ preseason game against the New England Patriots at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday.
Check out the video of his unusual outfit below, posted to the Eagles’ Twitter account:

While the injured Dickerson, a 2nd round pick by the Eagles in the 2021 NFL Draft, will have to wait a while to make an impact on the football field as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered during the SEC Championship Game against Florida in December, he’s already made an impact with his fashion, it seems.
Here’s some of the reaction from social media on Dickerson’s outfit:

Your team does not have Landon Dickerson.
Feel bad for you.
