Justin Jefferson, Joe Burrow make appearance at Paris Fashion Week

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is mixing a little football business with some vacation pleasure this week as he spends time all over France.

On Thursday, the NFL’s official social media account posted photos of Burrow and Vikings superstar receiver Justin Jefferson showing off their best looks during Paris Fashion week. The quarterback and receiver went casual, with Burrow dressed in all black, while Jefferson opted for white and other neutral shades. They probably didn’t dress like this when both were in Baton Rouge leading LSU to a national championship. But big money means fancier ‘fits.

Take a look. The NFL called it “showing out at Paris Fashion Week.”

So why are Joe Burrow and Justin Jefferson in the City of Lights? Well, earlier this week, they were all down in the south of France for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Against the backdrop of the French Riviera, Burrow and Jefferson were part of a panel called “The Rapid Evolution of Athletes as brand Builders.” Titans receiver DeAndre Hopkins also was part of the panel.

Burrow posted a gallery of photos to his Instagram page earlier in the week. In one, he was playing chess, beachside. He posed with Jefferson for another snap. Go ahead, flip through the photos.

We’re thinking Joe Burrow is in Paris for some fashion inspiration. After all, his pregame attire usually goes viral. He likes Cartier shades and big, bold patterns for his suits. There is no subtle with this guy.

The New York Times named Joe Burrow to its “93 Most Stylish People of 2022.” The look that landed him on the list was his AFC championship outfit. He shared the snapshot on Instagram with the caption “Cartier glasses I won’t even peek at you.” He also donned a big gray coat to complement his black turtleneck and chunky gold and diamond pendant and chain. A reporter asked him if he was going for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson iconic vibes. Why yes, he was.

Of course, Burrow and Jefferson can afford luxury vacation and designer ‘fits. Burrow, along with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, makes $55 million a year, which tops the NFL. Then there’s Jefferson, who earlier this month became the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.

Burrow is off for another month before he reports to Bengals training camp. First practice is July 24.
