On the field, Joe Burrow is the conductor of the Cincinnati Bengals' offense. Off it, he's a virtuoso of the piano. Burrow, 29, was back at the piano recently, according to a video shared via Instagram by his friend, Zacciah Saltzman, on Monday, January 26. The video showed the Bengals quarterback tickling the ivories on an all-white piano, clad in shorts, a t-shirt, a bucket hat and sunglasses. Fans on social media quickly debated the song Burrow was playing, with "Bella's Lullaby" from the 2008 movie Twilight and Taylor Swift's "Tolerate It" as the most popular . Burrow first took up the piano in the 2024 offseason while he was recovering from wrist surgery. That June, he told the media that he learned how to play by watching YouTube videos. Joe Burrow Announces Return by Bringing Back Iconic LeBron James Selfie "I'm learning the piano right now, hopefully I can get pretty good at that by next offseason," he told Complex in July 2024. "I guess it'll be pretty tough during the season, but it's helped my rehab too for my wrist, so that's something I want to get good at." He added, "I've always wanted to learn how to play, but this was an opportune time to work on my hand and wrist dexterity while also learning that. So it was kind of the perfect storm." This offseason, Burrow is just trying to stay healthy after missing nine additional games in 2025 with turf toe. The Bengals limped to a 6-11 record, missing the playoffs for the third straight year. Though Burrow is under contract in Cincinnati through the 2029 season, the Bengals' roster has plenty of holes that the team will need to fill in the coming months. With more than $55 million available in cap space, the team can afford to go on a spending spree to try and assemble a championship team around the two-time Pro Bowler. Why Bengals' Joe Burrow Didn't Touch Turkey After Thanksgiving Win Over Ravens Burrow has made it clear that he expects the front office to be aggressive. "That's of paramount importance," Burrow said in the team's final 2025 postgame press conference. "You have to identify where you're weak and figure out a way to be strong in that area. That's the NFL year in and year out. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. You have to attack that period with intent to get better." Even apart from football and the piano, Burrow has long been known for his wide-ranging interests. He is also fascinated by fossils, even gifting dinosaur, bear and mammoth fossils to his offensive line for Christmas. He spoke about his interest in season 2 of the Netflix series Quarterback, which debuted in 2024. "When aren't fossils on your mind?" Burrow said in the episode. "They go back millions of years. That's sick." "We went to the Natural History Museum," Burrow continued. "They took us behind the scenes and showed us some really cool stuff. It's like a library of fossils that they don't show everybody else." He added, "It's like you go to a shoe store, and they're like 'Maybe we have it in the back.' And it was, like, all the fossils back there. It was pretty sick."
