Joe Burrow’s talent on the football field is undeniable — a fierce competitor, unshakable in the pocket, and calm under pressure. But off the field, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback is drawing attention for another reason: his evolving fashion persona. Fans and media can’t stop buzzing about his sleek suits, bold choices, and confident presence. And as revealed in a new teaser for Season 2 of Netflix’s Quarterback, this stylish side of Burrow isn’t a recent development. It’s something that’s been in the making since his earliest years — and much of the credit goes to his mother, Robin Burrow.
Joe Burrow’s hidden fashion side finally revealed in Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’—thanks to his mom
In a heartfelt and revealing moment from the series, Robin shares a glimpse into young Joe’s early preferences. “I mean, honestly, I feel like from the time he was kind of little, he was always a little bit particular about his clothes. He liked what he liked for sure,” she said. “I think it’s exciting that he shows his personality in those ways.”This wasn’t a case of a child being fussy about outfits — Joe’s wardrobe choices were his way of expressing who he was. From colorful shirts to unique combinations, his fashion sense reflected the same confidence that would later define his game. He didn’t just wear clothes; he wore intention.
That intentionality was nurtured early, thanks to Robin’s professional background. “My mom was in fashion merchandising when I was little, so she’s already played a role in that,” Burrow said. “She would always get me colorful shirts that I would like to wear.” Her understanding of trends and aesthetics undoubtedly rubbed off on young Joe, offering him both inspiration and support to be himself.The Netflix series not only revisits Burrow’s childhood fashion roots but also ties them to the bold persona we now see — whether he’s walking into a stadium in designer wear or posing for magazine covers. Still, despite becoming a style figure in the NFL, Burrow has stayed grounded.In a conversation with People, he admitted the fame attached to his appearance was never part of the plan. “It’s been interesting to see how the perception of me has changed over the years. I never really felt that way about myself,” he said. “And I wouldn’t say when I was younger, other people felt that way about me either.”Now a household name with a growing fanbase that admires both his game and his glam, Burrow remains humble. The quarterback might be redefining fashion in football, but his core — shaped by colorful shirts and a supportive mother — hasn’t changed.Quarterback Season 2, starring Joe Burrow, premieres Tuesday, July 8 on Netflix.Also Read: “I can’t even think of her name”: Skip Bayless’ wife slams Sydney Sweeney over Tom Brady link, questions why he’s even hanging out with her
