Joe Burrow is well-known for more than just his on-field precision and cool-headed leadership. His sharp and confident fashion sense has sparked headlines, social media admiration, and even public fascination.
But what fans may not know is that this flair for style isn’t something new. It’s been part of Burrow’s life since childhood. A new teaser from Netflix’s Quarterback Season 2 pulls back the curtain on how deep that connection really goes.

How Robin Burrow Shaped Her Son’s Fashion Sense from an Early Age
The teaser offers a candid glimpse into Joe Burrow’s early fashion interests, shaped largely by the influence of his mother, Robin Burrow.
Her reflections reveal that the Bengals quarterback has always had a clear and unique taste in clothing. This wasn’t just a kid being picky about what to wear. Burrow showed genuine interest in expressing himself through his wardrobe choices from a young age.
“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,” Robin shared. “I think it’s exciting that he shows his personality in those ways.”
This personal anecdote from Robin highlights how Joe’s self-expression through fashion wasn’t a phase. It was part of his identity even as a child. Her observations also hint at a consistent theme in Burrow’s personality: individuality.
Whether in choosing what to wear or how to lead on the field, the quarterback’s confidence appears deeply rooted in knowing what suits him best. That same decisiveness that makes him effective in the pocket shows up in his style choices too.
Another key detail from the teaser adds context to this early fascination with fashion. Burrow himself acknowledges that his mother’s professional background played a pivotal role in developing his eye for style.
“My mom was in fashion merchandising when I was little, so she’s already played a role in that,” Burrow recalled. “She would always get me colorful shirts that I would like to wear.”
The mention of fashion merchandising adds a layer of understanding to Burrow‘s taste. Rather than being a passive interest, his engagement with trends was nurtured in an environment where style was not only encouraged but also part of his family’s day-to-day life.
These details draw a clear line from his upbringing to the polished, deliberate image fans now see on game days and red carpets. The colorful shirts Robin picked out for young Joe evolved into the designer suits and statement pieces that turn heads at NFL events.
Why Joe Burrow Stays Grounded Despite His Fashion Icon Status
Beyond the Netflix teaser, Burrow also reflected on the public’s fascination with his appearance and style during an interview with People magazine.
“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.”
Despite being considered a fan-favorite crush and fashion icon by many, Burrow remains grounded. The quarterback who once wore colorful shirts picked out by his mom now graces magazine covers and sets social media ablaze with his outfit choices.
While he’s “okay” with the attention his style brings, Burrow continues to draw a boundary around his personal life, allowing only glimpses and never the whole picture. That selective sharing keeps fans wanting more while letting him maintain some privacy in an increasingly public world.
The Netflix series promises to show more of this personal side when Quarterback Season 2 releases, giving fans another look at what makes one of the NFL’s most stylish players tick.
