Ted Lasso: Why Nate’s Hair Is Fully Gray At The End Of Season 2

Throughout Ted Lasso season 2, assistant coach Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed) went from having jet black hair to being fully gray by the season finale. Nate’s character growth over the course of the show has been of great interest to audiences, as they watched him go from a bullied equipment manager to assistant coach for the AFC Richmond club.

These character flaws came to light after season 2, episode 6, “The Signal,” when Ted Lasso left the match with a panic attack and Nate stepped in to call player substitutions that brought Richmond a victory. It has always been apparent that Nate has more football knowledge than Ted but as Ted Lasso season 2 continued, Nate became even more dissatisfied with taking a backseat to Coach Lasso. This dissatisfaction even brought Nate to the point of betraying Ted by telling the press about Ted’s panic attack.
