Joe Burrow's mom exposes his childhood obsession with fashion in new Netflix ‘Quarterback' teaser
Joe Burrow's secret love for fashion revealed by his mother in Netflix's 'Quarterback' season 2 (Getty Images) 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Undo He didn't just wear clothes; he wore intention. Quarterback: Season 2 | Joe Burrow | Sneak Peek | Netflix 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.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' Dayton Bramhall says she 'did everything right' — but still got cut twice: is the system rigged against her?
Dayton Bramhall's journey with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has been anything but easy — and her story has become one of the most emotional arcs in Season 2 of Netflix's America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A third-time auditionee and daughter of longtime DCC associate choreographer Shelly Bramhall, Dayton came into the 2024 training camp with the weight of a legacy and the pressure to finally make the team. But after once again being cut, the young dancer made a decision that would redefine her identity beyond the DCC brand. A legacy with something to prove returns for a third try at DCC Raised in McKinney, Texas, Dayton Bramhall has been immersed in the world of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders her entire life. Her mother, Shelly, was part of the DCC class of 1989 and has served as a key figure on the staff for years. That connection, however, didn't secure Dayton a spot. 'None of us want you to make this team just because you have a history,' director Kelli Finglass told her bluntly. 'You need to earn to make this team. ' Despite showing improvement and passion during her audition, Dayton struggled with memorizing choreography and keeping up with the precision and power expected at the elite level. 'There's one that just won't stick in my body, but I'll get it,' she said during training camp. Unfortunately, the veterans didn't believe she was ready — and Finglass ultimately told her it would be a 'disservice to have you make this team and the struggle be all year. ' Emotional fallout, a strained friendship, and a quiet comeback While Dayton took the cut with grace, the decision left ripples in her personal life. Her mother Shelly admitted, 'That was hard because we were friends. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If anything, I wasn't hurt by her not making it, I was way more hurt by Kelli and Judy.' Despite the tension, Dayton chose to tell her mom herself, showing maturity beyond her years. She returned in 2025 for another shot — but was cut again before training camp. In a heartfelt comment on TikTok, Dayton wrote, 'I did EVERYTHING they asked of me and tried my absolute best to fit their mold. I'm not wanted there and I'm hoping this takes me to where I truly belong.' Also Read: Now a teacher at The Young Company in Texas, Dayton is using her journey to empower young dancers. Her story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and redefining success on her own terms. As her mom put it best, 'She's stronger for doing so, even if the results weren't in her favor. God has something better for her.'
