Maybe a tiger can change his stripes after all.
Joe Burrow has already caught the attention of teammates, fans and analysts for his play on the field, but also for his style off of it.
The Bengals quarterback is certainly coming into his own, with his pre- and post-game outfits a point of emphasis for all those who feast their eyes on his attire.
Behold: Burrow’s Super Bowl 56 pre-game fit. Clearly, he thought he was saving his best for last.

“I don’t know if I would wanna live in here (Los Angeles,” Burrow said on Thursday. “I like seasons, having a different wardrobe.”
While Burrow’s pre-game fit is fine — really, it is — the NFL world had some pretty choice reactions to the way the Bengals quarterback showed up to the game. Some drew parallels to the treatment of Burrow as opposed to Cam Newton, who some feel was treated pretty unfairly for his wardrobe choices, while others praised Burrow’s fit:
The things some people like about Joe Burrow are the same things they didn’t like about Cam Newton 👁 https://t.co/jYcgS4kJNk
The same media that condemned Cam Newton’s outfits as a distraction are going to praise Joe Burrow’s 🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/vVIsbgUmtx
