Joe Burrow’s new Eminem-styled blonde haircut left NFL fans absolutely dumbfounded

Joe Burrow Eminem NFL Cincinnati Bengals

If Joe Burrow had one opportunity to win a Super Bowl, to seize everything he wanted in one moment, would he capture it or let it slip?

Based on the superstar quarterback’s haircut heading into Cincinnati Bengals training camp, it looks like he’ll try to capture it. And he better hope his palms don’t get too sweaty and that his knees don’t get too weak.

To open the Bengals’ latest pursuit for a championship, their franchise player walked into the building boasting a short, bleach-blonde haircut reminiscent of famed rapper Eminem, WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes, or even a young Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street.

Whatever floats your boat along this generational divide, it’s pretty wild to actually see this kind of style on Burrow’s head:

Jokes aside, Burrow is such a classic Zoomer. Like everyone else from his generation, he’ll take an outdated hairstyle or fashion choice from the 1990s and now claim it was new or say it’s cool because of its “retro” aesthetic.

Until the roof comes off, until the lights go out, I have no doubt Burrow thinks this way.

Naturally, Burrow’s new haircut left NFL fans absolutely befuddled as they started firing off an unsurprising round of jokes.
