Will the real Joe Burrow please stand up?
The Bengals quarterback arrived at training camp on Tuesday and debuted a bleached blonde hairstyle that gave off some strong early 2000s Eminem vibes.
“Guess who’s back?” the BengalsX account posted alongside a photo of the team’s star quarterback.
Barrow is 6ft 4ins tall, while Eminem, who is returning to the charts with his new album, The Death of Slim Shady, is 5ft 8ins tall, so there’s little chance of mistaken identity.
by Cincinnati EnquirerBurrow also sported this style while attending Athens High School in Ohio.
It’s the latest look for the man known as “Joe Cool,” and Burrow often sports a variety of different looks on game day throughout the season.
Not only did the quarterback sport a new hairstyle at Bengals camp, star receiver and college teammate Ja’Marr Chase also sported a new hairstyle.
The wide receiver showed up to camp without his famous braids, and his close-cropped hair requires him to dye it to match up with his passers-to-him.
Burrow has long favored a combo-over hairstyle with front bangs, so the platinum buzz cut caused quite a stir on social media.

Balou has also been compared to WWE superstar Cody Rhodes, who also has a bleached blonde look.
Coming off an injury-shortened season, Burrow will begin his big season in Week 1 on Sept. 8 against the Patriots in Cincinnati.
