“B.J. said that if I buzzed it and bleached it, he would do it too,” Burrow explained . “So now everybody’s got to hold him accountable because he’s got to do it in the next week.
“We need the fans and the media to hold him accountable if he doesn’t do it. So I’m counting on you guys.”

Burrow’s buzzer has generated plenty of shock and hilarity on social media.
From comparisons to early-2000s Eminem to WWE champion Cody Rhodes , fans and the NFL are having a field day, including comments from his own team.
“Guess who’s back,” the Bengals X account posted with a picture of Burrow, making reference to the 2000 hit, “Without Me” by Eminem.
“I think this is probably temporary,” Burrow added. “I’ll let it grow out, see what it looks like, little frosted tips. I don’t know. We’ll see.”
While it remains to be seen if the haircut will stick for the season, this isn’t the first time the 2020 No. 1 overall draft pick has sported a platinum buzzcut.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer , the man who has long been dubbed “Joe Cool,” rocked a similar hairstyle during his high school football days at Athens High School in Ohio.
Clearly, he’s a guy who sets his own style.
