Joe Burrow outlines major complaint against social media rumors: "Lot of lies about me out there"

Joe Burrow is currently preparing for the upcoming 2024 NFL season as he works his way back from a wrist injury. His year was cut short last year, which likely contributed to the Cincinnati Bengals missing out on the NFL Playoffs.

Burrow is expected to be ready for Week 1 as he and the Bengals are seeking a bounce-back year.

The superstar quarterback recently appeared on an episode of the Pardon My Take podcast to discuss where he currently stands. He also addressed some social media rumors that have been circling the internet.

Some of them had to do with a potential new hairstyle and how old he would be during the upcoming season.

Burrow responded with these words:

"I wish I had that hair, but I don't have the patience for that hair. I could've got some extensions I guess, but that was a pretty sick mullet.

"Lots of lies out there about me, I'd say. I had a bunch of people hit me up this week asking me if I turn 30 this year. That's not even close, I'm 27." (1:00:00)

To the disappointment of some fans, Joe Burrow debunked the rumor that he would be growing a mullet for the 2024 NFL season. He explained that a viral photo of him with one circled the internet, but it was completely fake.

He went on to insist that he plans to stick around the NFL for a long time and that he's really just getting started at this point.

Joe Burrow predicts how long his NFL career will last

Joe Burrow will be 27 years old when he enters the 2024 NFL season, but will turn 28 before the regular season concludes. He explained during his appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast that he believes he will play football for another 10 to 15 years.

This means that he expects his career to continue until he is somewhere between 37 and 43 years old.

If he can continue playing into the back end of that prediction, he could potentially be one of the only quarterbacks to ever do so. Just nine quarterbacks in NFL history have started a game at 41 years old or more.

Aaron Rodgers is expected to join that list with the New York Jets this year as the 10th member, and maybe one day Burrow will join as well.
