Cincinnati Bengals‘ QB Joe Burrow is making news for hilarious reasons. The latest one is about his blonde hair, which fans compared to Cody Rhodes and Eminem. Forget about the fans, the hairstyle looks so cool that NFL analyst Brian Baldinger copied it. And for his commitment, a retired NFL athlete praised him.

Jason Kelce knows the art of having fun, which his comment on X showed. The photo on X showed Brian Baldinger with short blonde hair, similar to Joe Burrow. Looks like Baldy has touched Kelce’s heart with his effort. And the retired athlete wholeheartedly praised him and wrote, “Now this is commitment Baldy, love it!!” However, the photo was photoshopped as the interview video showed him in his usual black short hair.

Now that Baldinger has quietly declared the QB as his favorite, let’s check other things discussed in the interview which also featured Bridget Condon. Burrow talked about his form before the upcoming season. And he exuded confidence before claiming he was slowly and steadily getting game-ready. Joe Cool showed prominent signs of improvement with accurate throws in the training camp. He added, “We’re getting better every day. There’s no secret.”

Unfazed about the contract situation with various teammates, the QB’s approach remains business as usual. He calmly dismantled any pressure and said that it was the same as any other year. The QB added, “I wouldn’t say any more than usual. That’s life in the NFL. You know, guys are going to leave. You know, contracts come up. That’s a part of it.” Giving an insight into his mental approach, Burrow said that there will always be some situations. However, the athletes are expected to go all in and win the games. Now that’s a champion vibe.

Did you know Jason Kelce identified Burrow’s talent long back and tried to hire him?

Jason Kelce once messaged Joe Burrow to lure him

In March 2023, Jason revealed on the New Heights podcast that he once messaged the QB to sign up with the Cincinnati Bearcats. However, Joe Shiesty instead signed him with LSU Tigers. It proved to be a brilliant decision when he led the school to a 15-0 run and the 2019 National Championship in his final year. With 60 touchdowns and 5,671 yards, the QB was a popular name coming into the 2020 NFL draft.

The draft fulfilled Jason’s wish as Burrow became the number 1 draft pick of the Bengals in 2020. Who Dey Nation was amazed at the QB’s exploits, who led them in back-back playoffs (in 2021 and 2022) after 5 long years (in 2015). Last season in 2023 wasn’t that good as injuries kept him on the sidelines. However, he has fully recovered for the upcoming season.

The training camp is showing signs of a good season for the Bungles. With their QB back in the fold of things, will they be able to win the Lombardi Trophy in 2024?
