The parade of trips to the end zone by NFL players last season may not have been unending, but it sure lasted a long time. Longer than ever, in fact. The total of 1,371 touchdowns scored during the 2018 regular season were the most ever, smashing the old record, which was set in 2013, by 33 touchdowns. How many of those 1,371 were scored by players with dreads? I'm glad you asked, because that's what this post is all about. For the record 259 of the 1,371, or 18.9%, were scored by 60 different players with dreads. The 259 house calls, an average of slightly more than one per game, are also a new record; and the 18.9% is a nice increase from 17.9% in 2017. A little later we'll take a look at some photos and videos of several of them.Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley certainly had plenty to smile about. Again. Shown in the photo above making his exit after his 3-touchdown day at Seattle in Week 5, Gurley for the second consecutive season led everyone - that's with or without dreads - in individual touchdowns.
