Even though one of the his nicknames is \u201cBig Yeti,\u201d numerous viewers were surprised to see the Chiefs star\u2019s back hair.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins chimed on the matter while speaking to E! News on May 21. \u201cGod bless Taylor Swift for being good with that,\u201d Cousins said. \u201cThat\u2019s awesome. Good for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThankfully, I don\u2019t have to deal with that, but I\u2019m in a locker room a lot,\u201d the 36-year-old noted. \u201cThat\u2019s just a part of life. It is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While some fans found Kelce\u2019s back hair polarizing, others couldn\u2019t believe it was seriously a topic discussed with Cousins. One person posted on X, \u201cI can\u2019t stop laughing at this.\u201d One woman added, \u201cCan\u2019t imagine anyone not being with someone because they happen to have back hair.
