Man selling dreadlock of Atlanta Falcons player found at Ford Field after Lions game

Takkarist McKinley loses hair during game against Lions

DETROIT – The Atlanta Falcons left Ford Field with a win last Sunday, but one of their players left something behind.

Falcons pass rusher Takkarist McKinley has dreadlocks, and he apparently left one behind on the field after the game against the Lions last weekend.

A Ford Field employee found the dreadlock and is now auctioning it off on eBay. It's currently going for more than $250. The eBay listing reads:

I work at Ford Field in Detroit and I found a dreadlock on the field after the game (9/24/17). I'm pretty sure it is Takkarist McKinleys dreadlock. 
MUST HAVE for Falcons fans and people who are into voodoo. 

McKinley actually tweeted about the auction on Friday, clearly worried he'd have to buy his own hair back from this guy.
