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

Arrington is dressed as Houston Texans’ star J.J. Watt.

Arrington appeared as a very specific version of Watt – the 2013 Week 4 Watt who received six stitches during the Texans’ game against the Seahawks.

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

Just so it's clear I have lighter makeup not white face, cosmetic for the blood on my nose to show up better. It clearly isn't white makeup — LaVar Leap Arrington (@LaVarArrington) October 31, 2014

Silly to even make a fun moment racial I explained it already enjoy the show — LaVar Leap Arrington (@LaVarArrington) October 31, 2014

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