Legendary quarterback Drew Brees made his debut as an analyst for NBC Sports for Thursday night's season opener between the Cowboys and Bucs -- and, evidently, so did his new hairdo.

The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer, working alongside host Mike Tirico and fellow analyst Tony Dungy, was sporting a neatly cropped fade with a short tuft of hair combed over on top during his appearances on-set at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
