All-American Uggs wearer and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hasn’t always been so ridiculously good-looking. Like us mortal humans, he went through a bit of an awkward phase in high school. Never fear, we have photographic proof!

The five-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback recently posted a picture from his freshman year in high school and his hair is everything.

“Time to bring it back?? #hairgoals” Brady wrote.

USA Today’s “For The Win” section called Junipero Serra, Brady’s high school, and they confirmed that the photo is real. We just want to know what kind of hair products gave his ‘do this kind of gravity!

Below are some other looks Brady has sported over the years:

1. This backwards cap and earnest smile.
