FOXBOROUGH (WEEI) -- Tom Brady and rookie Chase Winovich -- both Michigan products -- have developed quite the connection.
But, not to the point that Winovich trusts the Patriots quarterback to cut his hair.
This was captured on video from the stands during the final preseason game last Thursday night (see below) in what was likely a prank on the rookie who loves his hair.
“I think a lot of people would pay a lot of money to have Tom as barber, and luckily I kind of have that option for free," Winovich said in the locker room Monday.
He added: “That was cool. I got to watch the Patriots on the sideline while getting my haircut by Tom Brady. It’s an experience, for sure.”
On a more serious note, the Patriots will open the 2019 season in six days against the Steelers at home on Sunday Night Football.
"I am anxious in a sense, but at the same time it is just football," Winovich said. "I have been doing it for so long at this point that I am confident in my preparation, as you should be. I look forward to the opportunity, whatever role I may have on Sunday."
