LenDale White was having fun with his teammates at rookie Tim Tebow’s expense.

All the talk about rookie hazing in the NFL hit a new pitch after Dez Bryant refused to carry veteran receiver Roy William’s pads after practice but if anyone had a reason to complain, it’s gotta be Tebow with this new haircut.

The ‘do comes compliments of his veteran teammates who are describing it as a “halo” cut while others are thinking it’s more “monk-like”.

After snapping off the pic, White Tweeted the evidence from his Blackberry through his Twitter account @THEREAL_LENDALE:

“http://twitpic.com/2ckyyv– Look at tebow new hair style lmao… Loks good ROOK!!!!!!!!”

Later this second Tweet came across White’s page: “@Adam_Schefter: Think about it this way, @THEREAL_LENDALE: Most people thought T2 wore a halo anyway, and now it’s just official..”<Lol

Now ordering someone to carry pads is nothing, this my friends is a hazing! And Tebow appears to be taking it like a man.
