Inside an Airbnb along the waters of Miami Beach, Josh Uche is getting his hair trimmed by barber Steven Rivera.
Rivera — who has cut the hair of several professional athletes, including Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro and Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater — cleans up Uche’s fade and grooms his beard. Videographer Theo Smith stays close, capturing it all.
It’s a big day for Uche, a 21-year-old linebacker out of Michigan. He is hopeful that commissioner Roger Goodell will call his name that evening in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
A freshened-up Uche puts on a black T-shirt and gray plaid pants before completing his look with a Cuban link chain and a pair of Christian Louboutin-studded sneakers.
