Joe Burrow Was Ripped For ‘Distasteful’ Joke About His Diamond Necklace

Joe Burrow, they’re coming for you.

The Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback played up to his four-year, $36 million contract this season, and he threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday to lead his team into the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams.

Burrow wore a blinged out necklace with his initials and a Nike swoosh hanging from it. Asked if the diamonds on his chain were real, her replied, “They’re definitely real … I make too much money to have fake ones.”

Not everyone on Twitter loved the former Heisman Trophy winner’s swagger. “Eww,” one person wrote. “Distasteful,” commented another.

And there goes the appreciation for Joe Burrow seeming like a humble dude who gets it.
