This past winter, Eric LeGrand decided he would cut the dreadlocks he's worn for the last 11 years sometime this summer.

And he knew exactly who he wanted to do the honor.

The inspirational former Rutgers football player reunited with his friend and old teammate, now-Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tim Wright, on Thursday at "The Wright Cut," Wright's barbershop on Livingston campus in Piscataway.

Wright has been cutting hair since he and LeGrand first met a decade ago at Rutgers, and he's turned that skill into a successful business on campus.
