TMZ reports that Burrow has an endorsement deal with Nike and that the shirt was custom-made and was "not going to retail."

Burrow grew up in Athens and attended Athens High School, where from the 2011 to 2014 seasons he guided the school to three straight playoff appearances and was awarded the state's Mr. Football Award and Gatorade Player of the Year.

In 2019, the school opted to rename its football stadium Joe Burrow Stadium, according to The Advocate.

He played at Ohio State for three seasons, redshirting as a freshman, before transferring to LSU.
