Joe Burrow Jersey Number

Joe Burrow wears the number 9 with the Cincinnati Bengals, as of October 2024. He had the number even before his draft, as he wore the number 9 in his Louisiana State University days as well. Burrow played his final two seasons with the LSU Tigers.

During his time with the University of Oregon, Burrow was presented with the number 10. It was the number he had at Athens High School and continued to his collegiate career. Following his draft as the first overall pick, Burrow mentioned thinking about going back to the number 10 but did not proceed with it. He said “I had some not-so-great memories of 10 the last time I wore it," according to Bengals' reporter Ben Baby’s tweet. This possibly referred to his rough time wearing the number 10 in Ohio State, as he struggled for game time before switching his number to 9 following his transfer to LSU.
