Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow just got himself an amazing welcome-to-the-NFL gift … a diamond chain of his jersey number!!
TMZ Sports has learned … the Heisman Trophy winner wanted to do something special after inking his massive, $36 million rookie deal, so he hit up celeb jeweler Leo Frost to whip up the one-of-a-kind piece.
We’re told the awesome #9 pendant is made of 18k white gold and VVS diamonds … sitting on an 18k white gold prong-set Cuban chain with VVS diamonds.
In other words, the rook’s got taste!!
For those who paid close attention to our pre-draft jewelry roundup back in February, this should come as no surprise. As Leo told Burrow at the time, “After the draft, I’m thinking we make this a fat ass piece for you, #9? A fat #9.”
Leo delivered on his promise … flying to Cincinnati this week to hand over the final product … and Joe loved it!!
It’s been one crazy year for the Ohio boy — he won a natty, won the Heisman, helped raise $500k for his hometown food bank, and went #1 overall in the Draft.
So yeah … the dude earned some ice.
