‘Tis the offseason, when players unwind and pursue sometimes dramatically entertaining side interests that keep fans’ attention until kickoff.
Two of the NFL’s biggest stars were recently spotted engaging in a display that was quite unlike what audiences will see this fall.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson found their way into the spotlight in a far different manner than the ordinary.
Savage Sports shared a video of Burrow and Jefferson sauntering through a fashion show at an undisclosed location.

Both were adorned with dark suits without a shirt – at least one in the front.
Burrow, whose attire was far more eye-catching, wore a jacket with a sizable Valentine-shaped opening in the back tied by a band and with a short shirt barely peeking out from behind the cloth.
Fans may be excused if they studied the video not for his fashion attire but instead focused on his right wrist.
Burrow suffered a season-ending injury in last year’s Week 11 loss to the Ravens that required surgery.
That was three years removed from the gruesome season-ending MCL tear he suffered that closed what had been a successful rookie campaign.
But he looked healthy and ready to go, which is excellent news for the Bengals.
Jefferson awaits the fall season after signing a league-record contract extension for a wide receiver – four years and $140 million.
The two play in separate conferences and will rarely see each other on the field.
But the stroll through high fashion was enough to catch fans’ attention, and it only increased the appetite for football’s return.
