NFL fans melt down over Joe Burrow’s new hairstyle image

The Cincinnati Bengals saw their players report for training camp on Tuesday, July 23, but their quarterback, Joe Burrow, stole the show thanks to a change in his hairstyle and color.

The Bengals tweeted out a photo of Burrow arriving for training camp and not only is he sporting shorter hair, he has also died it bleach blonde. If we didn't know any better, we might think the Bengals replaced Burrow with Eminem.

And the Bengals played off that in their tweet, with the team writing "Guess who's back," which mirrors the lyrics from Eminem's song "Without Me" from his old album, "The Eminem Show".

Interestingly enough, Burrow revealing his Eminem-like hairsyle comes about two weeks after the rapper released his new album.

As you'd expect, Burrow's new hairdo caused quite the stir on social media, and there was no shortage of roasting going around. Here's a look at the reaction.
