As the Bengals gear up for their season opener, the Who Dey Nation got to receive a much-anticipated update! The 26-year-old star QB of the team, Joe Burrow, had been sidelined with a calf strain during this season’s training camp, is now expected to play in Week 1. This news comes as a huge relief for fans and experts alike, especially considering that this QB led the team to the AFC championship last season. In this piece, we delve into the remarkable journey of the Bengals’ shining star.

Burrow had a Pro Bowl season last year, boasting an impressive 3-1 record against Patrick Mahomes. His accolades glisten like a diamond, making him one of the top contenders for this upcoming season’s MVP.

Joe Burrow is set to score big bucks!

The Pro Bowler QB is currently in his fourth and final year as a rookie, so the talk about his contract extension has already started to make rounds. Several experts even claim that Burrow is set to make more than the current list-topper, Justin Herbert, who makes $52.5 million annually. The 2019 Heisman Trophy winner has come a long way from Ohio roots and doesn’t intend to stop anytime soon.

Burrow grew up, surrounded by a loving family. His father, Jimmy, a former NFL star, coached for decades before retiring to focus on his NFL-bound son. His mother, Robin, an elementary school principal, made numerous sacrifices to see her son succeed, including driving to Ohio State on Sundays to provide Burrow with freshly laundered clothes. The Pro Bowler also has two older brothers, Jamie and Dan, both of whom played football in defensive positions, following in their father’s footsteps. Additionally, Burrow’s uncle, John, was a football player as well.

In addition to his loving family, the star QB also has a long-term partner by his side, with whom he has been in a relationship for years.

Burrow’s long-time girlfriend, Olivia!

The Pro Bowl quarterback met his girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher, while attending Ohio State University. Their first public picture as a couple surfaced in 2017, and since then, they have been inseparable, supporting each other through thick and thin. Olivia was by Burrow’s side when he clinched the Heisman Trophy in 2019, and the couple celebrated his NFL draft in 2020, sharing a series of pictures on her Instagram page. Notably, Olivia also made an appearance during a Bengals’ game as a cardboard cutout during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Burrow is gearing up to lead the Bengals in the 2024 season opener against the Browns, and his presence on the field is crucial. Reports suggest that he will make a triumphant return, and undoubtedly, his loving family will be in the stands, cheering him on.
