It seems like every day there's a new story about Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow that pushes the former LSU standout closer to legend status.

This week, it was a story from Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.

Awuzie told Bengals.com about going to Las Vegas for a UFC fight with Burrow and safety Jessie Bates. While they were in Vegas, they did some shopping.

Apparently, the lady helping the trio pointed out that a player named Joe Burrow had made Cartier glasses famous because he wore them before/after a game.

Burrow, unsurprisingly, replied in his normal self-assured tone "yeah, I'm Joe Burrow, nice to meet you".

For anyone else, that would probably be an awkward encounter. But not for Burrow — the smoothest man in the NFL. He handles everything exceptionally well, even little awkward moments that would catch most folks off guard.

Classic Joe.

By the way, in case you forgot (or just want to see them again), here are the glasses that Burrow wore that Awuzie mentioned.

I'd like to see Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes try to pull that look off. I'm pretty sure Joey B is the only quarterback in the NFL smooth enough to make that look work.
