Joe Burrow Unveils Daring New Look at Bengals Training Camp, Sparking Hopes for a Super Bowl Victory
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has stunned fans with a bold new look as he checked into the team’s training camp on Tuesday. The 26-year-old NFL star has ditched his iconic locks, opting for a bleached buzzcut that has drawn comparisons to rapper Eminem’s Slim Shady alter ego.
The Bengals’ social media team was quick to reference the legendary rapper, posting a photo of Burrow’s new look with the caption “Guess who’s back,” a nod to Eminem’s 2002 hit “Without Me.” Fans were equally impressed, with many responding with “Slim Shady” and other Eminem-inspired comments.

Aside from the Eminem comparisons, Burrow’s bold look also drew parallels to WWE superstar Cody Rhodes, with fans joking that the quarterback had “lost a bet” and “lost his aura” without his iconic flow. However, many others saw the new look as a symbol of a fresh start and a potential Super Bowl victory for the Bengals.
“MVP season incoming,” wrote one enthusiastic fan, while another exclaimed, “Super Bowl me NOWWWWW!”

Despite the mixed reactions, Burrow remains confident in his team’s abilities, claiming that the Bengals roster is built to beat the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. The quarterback holds a 3-1 record over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, having previously beaten the title holders in the AFC Championship game in 2022.
After suffering a torn ligament in his right wrist last season, Burrow is eager to make a comeback and lead his team to victory. With new reinforcements and a healthy roster, the former LSU star believes they have the upper hand over the Chiefs this season.
“I think we’re built to beat them,” Burrow said in an interview. “I always appreciate the legendary battles we have.”
