Don’t mess with his hair.

That is the one request former USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams said he would make of his new NFL teammates after he is drafted.

Multiple NFL mock drafts project him as the No. 2 overall pick by the Tennessee Titans.

Williams’ mane has become a trademark look, which makes it an easy target for veteran hazing.

During a Fox Sports 1 broadcast Tuesday, Williams – 6 feet 5 and 302 pounds – began to plead his case.

“You can do whatever you want, just don’t cut my hair,” he said, laughing.

Williams made 80 tackles, including seven sacks, last season.

He is scheduled to participate in USC’s Pro Day on March 11.
