Brett Keisel
Known for making his mark on the game, Brett Keisel is recognized too for that impressive mane of facial hair. The former Pittsburgh Steelers Defensive end started growing the aptly titled, ‘Da Beard,’ while on a Summer hunting trip. From that point on it gained its own fame, and providing inspiration for many of the NFL’s ‘rally beards’ during the playoffs. This man certainly has a next level beard and probably one of the most impressive ever in the NFL.

Brian Wilson
What can we say about Brian Wilson’s beard that hasn’t been said? The former MLB pitcher started growing his impressive beard during the Giants’ playoff run in 2010. He decided that he would not shave until the season ended, and only if they failed to win the World Series. Beard madness was in full effect as even fans began growing large, stunning manes and wearing fake ones as well. He later took his beard to Los Angeles, where he closed his career on the mound with the Dodgers. Brian Wilson has one of the most exceptional beards to ever, throw a pitch in the majors!
