Ghost-face headshots: They're not just for hockey anymore.
Seatte Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas has gone with a direct homage to Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev for his 2022-23 NFL season picture. Dallas went with the raised-eyebrows look that made Tanev an internet sensation with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he later explained that he saw a ghost during the shoot. He then repeated it after being chosen by Seattle in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft. The Kraken shared a side-by-side photo of the two players on social media.
After Tanev was taken away from Pittsburgh, former Penguins teammate Kasperi Kapanen continued the legacy of the seeing-a-ghost face there. But now it has hit the NFL. The only question that remains: Who's next?
