Top 25 NFL mustaches of all time
By John Buhler
12. Shahid Khan
Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan is the epitome of the American Dream. He arrived in America as a 16-year-old from Pakistan to study at the University of Illinois. There he would develop a passion for watching football and begin his career in transforming the automotive industry.
Khan became a billionaire in changing how truck bumpers were made. Using the Port of Jacksonville as his hub, Khan quickly became one of the richest men in Florida that happens to look like Pakistani Einstein. The hair might be a tad out there, but that mustache of Khan’s is probably the best part of the toothless Jaguars franchise.
The combination of the American Dream and that mustache makes it darn near impossible not to root for Khan. Since buying the team, Jacksonville has been a bottom five team in football. However, if that Jaguars defense is about half as good as Khan’s mustache, things could be getting better for Jacksonville.
Then again, quarterback Blake Bortles can’t go all Sloppy Joe with his passing mechanics again this fall for any of that to happen. Perhaps Bortles passing mechanics can improve by growing a mustache to rival Khan’s? Even if that doesn’t help Bortles in year four, at least he’ll have a cool ‘stache, right? Jacksonville eye candy.
