Joe Burrow on Wednesday did not look like his cool, calm, and collected self when addressing the media about his recent home invasion.
Burrow’s home in Anderson Township, Ohio, was burglarized while the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback led his team to a Monday night win over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. More details about Burrow’s home invasion can be found here.
On Wednesday, Burrow spoke to reporters about the incident. The Bengals star gave a statement before fielding any questions.
“I’ll start off by saying something before any questions today,” said Burrow. “So obviously, everybody has heard what has happened. I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one, and way more is already out there than I would want out there, and that I care to share.”
This is probably the most emotional I've seen Joe Burrow. He's a pretty private guy. That includes quietly providing mental health resources to kids in Ohio and Louisiana.

Burrow is known for his icy demeanor on the field. The man’s two most well-known nicknames, Joe Cool and Joe Brrr, reference that.
But Burrow looked about as rattled as his fans have ever seen him during Wednesday’s press conference. Aside from losing material possessions in the burglary, Burrow also had some personal details of his revealed to the public.
One of the women who made a 911 dispatch call reporting the incident was a Sports Illustrated model who was apparently living in Burrow’s house. That detail immediately sparked buzz about her relationship with Burrow, which the LSU alum clearly is not happy about.
