Indeed, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looks different this summer.
But that had bene the case before he showed up with the Eminem-styled hair (a throwback to his Athens, Ohio days, really) that the team has dubbed the “Slim Shiesty” look.
Burrow showed up notably bigger during earlier voluntary work this summer and confirmed then that he put on more muscle while focusing on that aspect of his life.
Fast forward to now, after the first training camp practice, Burrow confirmed that he’s currently at his heaviest playing weight yet in the pros — in the 215-220 pounds range.
As for the hair? Unfortunately for fans who love it, Burrow suggested the style might just be temporary.
Either way, those fans apparently have the hilarious B.J. Hill to thank for it.
