There’s an old stereotype about an oft-bullied, dorky kid who thinks he can reinvent himself at his new school. They decide that changing a surface-level aspect of their personality will be enough for a respected reputation with people who don’t know them. Of course, it never is because that’s not how it works.
Enter Zach Wilson, king of the bullied.
The ex-New York Jet is beginning his first season as a quarterback for the Denver Broncos. After spectacularly busting with Gang Green, Wilson is clearly ready for the fresh change of scenery.
I know this because he unveiled a new slicked-back hairstyle for his time with Mile High. No one’s going to bully him anymore. No way!

To me, the hairdo makes Wilson look like a bizarre cross of Gordon Gecko from Wall Street and a bog-standard star player on a lacrosse team. I’m not sure what he was thinking other than maximizing an opportunity to be the cool new kid at his new school.
We’ll see if that gambit works.
