Joe Burrow has made a significant change to his physical appearance and it appears social media cannot handle it.
The Cincinnati Bengals star is a favorite among fans, and non-fans, as he’s quite a hit with the ladies given his looks and demeanor. So any change he makes to his appearance will always be noticed.
Joe Cool, as he’s also known, showed up to the Cincinnati Bengals’ offseason workouts wearing longer hair and a headband, and Twitter is going crazy.
AFC rival Patrick Mahomes is known for wearing headbands and has won two Super Bowls with the look, so it’s probably not a bad trend to follow. But fans are now accusing Burrow of stealing Mahomes’ style.
“Tryna look like Mahomes so bad He can’t win Championships but he can at least try to look like him,” a Kansas City Chiefs fan tweeted.

Of course, Bengals fans have stepped up to defend their quarterback with claims that he’s been wearing headbands since college.
The QBs have faced each other in the AFC Championship Game the last two seasons, but Mahomes got the job done when he got to the big game. Burrow fell just short, with Cincy losing to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 56. But he’s likely to get over the hump in due time.
Who knows? Maybe the headband will do the trick.
