Joe Burrow is one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks when he is healthy. Last season, the Cincinnati Bengals’ superstar battled injury after injury, which led his team to a lackluster season. Now, it is a new season. Training camp has begun for the entire NFL, and with that, Burrow is sporting a new hairstyle. Joey B showed up to day one of training camp with a blonde buzz cut resembling a younger Slim Shady.
People reports that Joe Burrow shaved his head and dyed his hair blonde because he was “bored.” However, Burrow first considered the change after talking to his teammate B.J. Hill. Apparently, Hill told Burrow that if he buzzed and bleached his hair, he would as well. Burrow seems to enjoy his new look, but fans certainly do not.
Fans React to Joe Burrow’s New Hair
“That’s Stan,” one fan said via Instagram.
“Dear Joe, I wrote you, but you still ain’t calling,” another said in reference to Eminem’s famous song and music video.
“Slim sheisty,” joked another fan.
Another shocked Instagram user asked, “What in the Eminem is going on here?”
Burrow was also compared to WWE star Cody Rhodes, who has a similar haircut. Rhodes even played into the joke by tweeting a photoshopped picture of Joe wearing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt.
Joe Burrow is looking to make a huge comeback this season. He was playing in the Super Bowl not too long ago, so missing most of last season was probably rough for the QB. Burrow and his Bengals are looking to get back to that stage and walk away with the win next time.
However, the Bengals getting back to the Super Bowl will be no easy task. The AFC North is stacked. From Cleveland to Baltimore, there will be no shortage of good teams in the North. Can Burrow and his new blonde hair reach the top once again?
