Joe Burrow fans certainly like what they see from the Bengals’ fourth-year quarterback.
On Monday, the Bengals released new photos and videos of the 26-year-old Burrow participating in drills as part of the team’s offseason activities.
Burrow, who is regarded as one of the league’s best-dressed players, hit the field in a black tank top, shorts and a new Bengals headband — an accessory that caught many fans pleasantly by surprise.
“Joe Burrow in a headband is exactly what I need to start my week,” one fan tweeted.
Another fan mimicked an iconic “Mean Girls” line when opining on the newest addition to Burrow’s wardrobe.
“I saw Joe Burrow wearing a tank top and a headband, so I bought a tank top and a headband,” the supporter wrote.
Beyond the headband, other Bengals supporters speculated Burrow had put on some muscle, with some going as far as to predict an MVP-caliber season from the former first-overall pick.
“I’m not overexaggerating when I say headband Joe Burrow will throw for 5800 yards and 55 TDs next year,” one fan stated.
A separate user added, “Uh oh Joey B looking a lot stronger this year.”
“Super Bowl SZN incoming,” one fan tweeted.
Burrow and the Bengals last reached the Super Bowl in 2022, when they were defeated by the Rams, 23-20.
Cincinnati fell short of a Super Bowl appearance in January when the now-champion Chiefs topped the Bengals, 23-20, in the AFC Championship game.
Despite the crushing loss, Burrow told reporters postgame he feels “great about the direction” the team’s heading in.
“That’s the great thing about the NFL, it’s not like college where you only have four years, you have as many years as you want to, hopefully. We will come back, have a great offseason and get better as a team, get better individually and come back next year ready to go,” the quarterback said.
In addition to the effort Burrow is clearly putting forth on the field, the former LSU product is giving back to the Cincinnati community.
The Joe Burrow Foundation has paid for the mental health treatment expenses for 20 families receiving care at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
