Brett Keisel AFC Championship Week - Ingles

When did you start growing your beard?

I started growing it right after mini-camp, right around the middle of June.

Was there a purpose?

Yeah, to look like this. It was just something fun that I decided to do. Playoff beards are a big thing around here in Pittsburgh. We missed the playoffs a year before. So this is just something I tried to do to convince myself that we’re getting back to the playoffs.

Re: People trying to copy your beard:

There are. Coach LeBeau says the biggest form of a compliment is when someone copies you. So I guess I am complimented.

Re: The beard having a Facebook page:

Yes, someone is doing that. I am just going to lay that out there, that it is not me. There is a twitter page too. That’s not me either. Someone is having some fun with it, which I don’t really mind.
