Joe Burrow at the Piano: How the NFL’s Coolest QB Is Rebranding Toughness With a Soft‑Skills Skillset

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is captivating fans with his piano prowess, blending soft skills like discipline and dexterity into his NFL image. In a viral video uploaded January 26 by Ziah Salt, he is casually playing a white piano in shorts and a bucket hat, probably one of the Taylor Swift songs I tolerate it or Ella Lullaby. It has been self-taught (since 2024 offseason wrist rehab) and has contributed to improving throws and mental concentration, according to Burrow, despite the 2025 turf toe injury (missed 9 games, Bengals 6-11). This humanizing hobby of the stoic star redefines the toughness of the QBs to be over gridsiren grit.
