Continuing the American Mustache Institute’s award-winning interview series — the last one with Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers — AMI chairman Dr. Aaron Perlut recently spoke with Washington Redskins all-pro tight end Chris Cooley.

Cooley, a part-time Mustached American who hails from Mustached American heritage (his father was a Mustached American as well), discusses who he patterns his looks after, his afro, the percentages of NFL players with facial hair, and takes a pass on Tony Romo.

This interview was facilitated with the kind assistance of a bare faced mortal, Brian Tinsman, who works in the front office for the Washington Redskins and owner Dan Snyder as the team’s associated writer and chief team blogger.
