Even without winning the Super Bowl, would anyone on the planet not want to be Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow today?
Whether you want to call him Joe Cool, January Joe, or Extraordinary Joe, the guy’s the hottest thing in pro football right now, racking up 2.4 million followers on Instagram and more than 669,000 followers on Twitter.
According to Yahoo Sports, Stafford sought out Burrow after the game and told him, “You’re a hell of a player. You got a great future, man. Love competing against you. You just keep being you, buddy.”
Much of that could not be more true. Burrow is a heckuva player. If he keeps being himself both on and off the field, his popularity is sure to grow. His teammates love him. His coaches love him. The media loves him. A lot of folks even loved his gray-and-black horizontal striped suit, shades and black hat that he wore as he got off the bus early Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium.
