Joe Burrow isn’t out here trying to be in the spotlight, but somehow, it always seems to find him. Whether he’s throwing dimes on the field or casually dropping takes that get the internet lit. The Bengals’ QB has a way of making waves without even trying. Recently, an old clip from a 2022 interview started going viral on Twitter, bringing back the debate about politics, sports, and whether athletes should stay out of it. But for the Bengals QB, it’s simple—when history calls, you answer.
In that 2022 convo, Joe Burrow kept it real about politics and public perception, saying some opportunities—like interviewing a president or going up the White House—are just too big to turn down.
