Baltimore Ravens head Coach John Harbaugh spoke at the NFL Combine on Wednesday and he drew a lot of attention -- not so much for what he said, but for the ash cross on his forehead.

Harbaugh apparently came from an Ash Wednesday service straight to the Combine.

The reaction to the cross was almost immediate; some on Twitter wondering if he got into a fight, while the majority of people took note or complimented him for the religious display.

Harbaugh told reporters he was giving up chocolate and bread for Lent.
