Joe Burrow‘s on a mission, and it’s not just on the field. His fans are no stranger with Burrow’s willingness to give back to the society. The Bengals’ QB is well known for his positive contribution towards food insecurity. The Joe Burrow Foundation recently paid outstanding mental health service bills for 20 families at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Ohio’s pride and the Cincinnati Bengals’ sensation, Joe Burrow, never stray away from headlines. He is at it once again. However, this time, it’s not solely about his spirals and touchdowns.

Not just a game: Joe Burrow champions health initiatives

Announced in June 2022, Joe Burrow became the brand ambassador for The Kroger Co.’s healthcare division. A recent video on the $30billion worth healthcare company’s Instagram showcasing Joe Burrow ahead of the 2023 season sparked excitement. The caption? “Anything but average. Get the personalized care you deserve.” After his awe-inspiring injury comeback, Burrow’s campaign emphasizes his top-notch physical state, and it’s evident he’s geared up for more than just football.

It’s no surprise to see Burrow advocating for a healthier community. The Cincinnati Bengals’ star has shown staunch dedication towards combating food insecurity. Pioneering the Joe Burrow Hunger Relief Fund, he has amassed over $1.3 million in a quest to eradicate food insecurity. “As an athlete, I know the value of good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle,” remarked Burrow. This union with Kroger seamlessly aligns with his vision, echoing Kroger’s ‘Zero Hunger, Zero Waste’ initiative.

From benched to battle-ready

It all happened during the Bengals’ training camp’s second day—a seemingly innocuous non-contact play culminated in Burrow clutching his calf. Rumours swirled and hopes dwindled, but what seemed like a minor setback kept him away longer than anyone anticipated. As days turned to weeks, the absence of their frontline quarterback became a glaring concern for the Bengals’ aspirations.

But the clouds of uncertainty were soon pierced with rays of hope. Recently, Burrow has made a triumphant return to the practice field. He is expected to be in the lineup against Cleveland brown on Sunday. Fans, not forgetting their shining star’s importance, have their spirits buoyed again. And it’s not just about Burrow; while DE Joseph Ossai’s non-participation caused a stir, it was comforting to see the likes of OT D’Ante Smith and WR Tyler Boyd back in full swing.

Joe Burrow, renowned for his prowess on the football field, showcases once again that his vision goes beyond touchdowns. Partnering with Kroger Health post-injury and championing healthier communities, he’s proving to be a role model both on and off the pitch.
