Since The Bachelorette's frontrunner managed to escape Hometown Dates without getting embarrassed by his parents, I think we're owed some awkward photos of Jordan Rodgers before The Bachelorette , don't you? I'm almost positive that Jordan is going to come away with the win and JoJo Fletcher's heart in the swiftly-approaching finale. This is really our last chance to see him as he was, before he's perfectly groomed for the cameras in every photo from here to eternity. As I'm sure we all know, Jordan was a football star at Vanderbilt who bounced around to a few teams in the NFL, so we have all manner of pictures of him from those days, of course.
But he was also a total goofball who was not above a good selfie or an embarrassing Halloween costume photo, so we also have a wide array of images to choose from. God bless the internet. He's quite the well-coiffed master of charm now, so it's fun to see Jordan at every stage, from a gangly, awkward teen in high school (complete with mouth guard) to a college ball player celebrating on the field, to his long-haired NFL days. At the end of the day, it's probably good that JoJo has already made her final pick, because some of these pics are prettttttty embarrassing. Sorry, Jordan. I had to.
