While OBJ was on the sidelines of the Giants’ game against the [Carolina Panthers](http://time.com/5408864/carolina-panthers-arent-heroes-for-signing-eric-reid/) at Bank of America Stadium, one of his teammate’s pointed out a fan sitting behind the Giants’ bench who was rocking his signature hairstyle.
