The Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback is trending on social media these days courtesy of his new blonde hairstyle. It appears Joe Burrow has eliminated all distractions heading into the 2024 season and that includes his flowing black hair. 

Burrow’s new buzzcut hairstyle first went viral with only a glimpse from Matt Tomamichel’s Instagram post. However, the quarterback arrived at the training camp with an entirely new look as he colored his hair in the brightest shade of blonde– making it hard for his fans and peers to recognize him.

The Bengals quarterback finally addressed questions regarding his new blonde look at the press conference held on Wednesday. The first and foremost question that came in his direction was, of course, the reason for the transformation, to which Burrow replied simple in three words.

I got bored. That's about it

But that wasn’t the end of it. As the Pro Bowler quarterback revealed he actually had a bet with his teammate, defensive tackle B.J. Hill

B.J. said that if I buzzed it and bleached it, he would do it too. So now everybody’s got to hold him accountable because he’s got to do it in the next week.

The signal-caller then urged the fans and media to hold the defensive tackle accountable if he did not fulfill his part of the bet. Burrow also said that his new blonde hairstyle is temporary, to everyone’s relief, but he’ll let it grow out and see how it looks.

Interestingly, there appears to be an ongoing trend in Cincinnati. After Burrow flaunted his new hairstyle and revealed Hill is likely to be the next with a buzzcut haircut, star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was also spotted with a new buzz-cut haircut when he arrived at the training camp. 

This is the first time Chase was spotted without his famous braids, sporting such a small hairstyle with an addition of bleach in it, he will be twinning with quarterback Burrow.

Those who have been following Burrow and Chase know this isn’t the first time the two experimented with such bold fashion choices as the two have been doing since 2020. The only one where Chase didn’t accompany his quarterback was the modeling debut for Vogue as the signal-caller catwalk in the streets of Paris.
