Analyzing David Beckham's Hybrid Haircut

Often times, athletes who are in the final stage of their career resort to a hybrid of the skills that once dominated previous phases of their lives.  No more power fastball?  Mix in more control.  A loss of scrambling prowess?  It’s pocket quarterback time.
