LaVar Arrington says he did not use 'white face' for J.J. Watt costume

Former NFL All-Pro linebacker and current NFL Network analyst LaVar Arrington got into the Halloween spirit this morning on NFL AM.

Despite the creativity, many on Twitter called out Arrington for using “white face.” He was quick to defend himself.

Arrington’s NFL AM co-hosts were also dressed up for the day, though none decided to use “lighter makeup.”
