I see your point! The skin tone in real life may be a bit darker but that might be due to his tatoos all over that he doesn't have in the game. Of course the mouthpiece isn't there and his hair seems a little tame for what he sports in the pic. Thats what sticks out to me right off the bat.
The point I get is that to the average fan they are probably going, he looks great. To you, it might be your favorite team so you will notice more. Just like if it were Adrian Peterson, I would be all over that stuff!
