Joe Burrow reported for Cincinnati Bengals training camp and debuted a new hairstyle. The quarterback, who is working his way back from a season-ending wrist injury in 2023, sported a buzz cut, doing away with his signature longer locks.
Burrow's new haircut caught the attention of many NFL fans on social media, who had mixed feelings about it. Barstool Sports' Big Cat shared the photo on X and said that he felt that Burrow's buzz cut proved he was 'all business' and that the Bengals are the team to beat.
Comments on the post were split with some liking his new look while others didn't approve of the haircut at all. A fan even thinks that Joe Burrow now looks like New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr, while another one sees a resemblance with streamer Sketch.

The comments section was filled with different opinions. There was even a reply stating that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen could also take a similar approach and shave his head in anticipation of the season. Another fan agreed with Big Cat's caption.
"Hairodynamic."-joked one fan
"Josh Allen about to shave his head."-said another
"I agree. Real Football Guys know that a buzz cut heading into camp means no f****** around."-one user on X stated
"I’m sorry but hot people getting buzz cuts should be a jailable offense. Lock them up until it grows back. This is an abomination."-said one fan who was against the new hair style
"Burrow looks 42 years old. #NFL."-another said sarcastically
"Goat is locked in."-one fan predicted
QB Joe Burrow was medically cleared for training camp
Cincinnati Bengals fans can breathe a sigh of relief as quarterback Joe Burrow has been given the green light by doctors to fully participate in training camp following his surgery to repair a torn ligament in his wrist last fall. He was limited during offseason workouts as he continued to rehabilitate.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Monday that the 27-year-old is good to go and there won't be any type of 'pitch count' in terms of what and how much he can do during practice.
The Bengals entered 2023 as one of the favorites in the AFC but Burrow's injury didn't help them to live up to expectations. Now with him fully healthy, the Bengals are set for a big bounce back.
