Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been known to change up his hairstyles quite a bit, and now fans are asking if he took it too far, considering the QB almost looks unrecognizable with his new hairdo.

The first thing that comes to mind for most people, who were alive during the late 90's/early 2000's, was this looks a lot like the hairstyle that rapper Eminem displayed during his "Real Slim Shady" music video.
Despite some liking the look, others believe that Burrow has "lost his aura" as the 27-year-old was known to have some of the best hair in the league before.

As fans graded the new haircut, even NFL players gave their opinion on Burrow's new look.
Former Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III tweeted out, "I love it. Bold. Comfortable in his own skin."
To point out, this is not the first time that Burrow has gone blonde, as a standout player at Athens high school, he also was seen with bleached hair.

Joe Burrow's barber also made jokes about the situation, as he posted on Instagram a caption underneath the QB's 'before and after' photos.
"When your clippers slip out of your hand and your client falls in bleach."

To note, back in May, Burrow duped fans with a fake long hair photoshopped picture, so as a result there were some conspiracy theorists who didn't want to get tricked once again.

With this in mind, now it seems this is the real thing, as Burrow is evidently committed to the Eminem-inspired look heading into the 2024 NFL season.
