As the Cincinnati Bengals begin training camp ahead of the 2024 season, star quarterback [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] debuted a surprising new look.
Burrow has gone for a blonde buzzcut this year, and fans were certainly taken aback when photos of his new hairdo surfaced on Tuesday. Some fans compared him to rapper Eminem, while many thought he now resembles WWE star Cody Rhodes.
Rhodes got in on the joke on Tuesday night, posting a photo of Burrow on X with a photoshopped version of Rhodes’ iconic American flag/skull-themed neck tattoo and championship belt with the caption “Time to finish your story this season.”

Burrow will hope his hair isn’t the only thing that’s different about the 2024 season for him. After a red-hot start to his career, Burrow was limited by injuries last season and only appeared in 10 games before suffering a season-ending wrist injury.
Now finally healthy, he’ll hope to return to form and lead the Bengals on another playoff run this season.
