          The first NFL Sunday of the year has arrived, and with it comes fresh fits around the league.

          In recent years, NFL players' arrival outfits have become more sophisticated and diverse. Sometimes, they are suited and booted. Other times it's simply trendy streetwear.

          "It's like I put on a costume," Dallas Cowboys linebacker Von Miller told ESPN. "It gives me a different energy, a different spark."

          Miller isn't the only player who believes a great fit can set the tone before a game.

          "When I put on a fire fit, I tell myself it's time to turn up. We are going to have a day," Washington Commanders defensive lineman Charles Omenihu said. "I like to be recognized as one of the best dressed. Your fit has to match your play. I take pride in being fly."

          The first two games of the season, on Wednesday and Thursday, gave us a glimpse of what we could see during players' arrivals this year. Now, as the Week 1 action continues, even more players must battle the September heat for their best pregame looks. So if they make this list, you know they brought the smoke.

          Here are the best looks from around the league in Week 1.

          Sunday afternoon arrivals

          Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow kept it classy before hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to kick off the season. Burrow arrived in a black button-down shirt, with tan pants and black sneakers. Meanwhile, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson wore a white tee and red sweatpants ahead of the Ravens' season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.

          Here are some of the other memorable fits from Sunday's 1 p.m. slate:

          Thursday night's top outfit

          San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. wore a tan double-breasted suit before taking on the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia.

          Wednesday's best arrival

          Wide receiver A.J. Brown arrived for his New England Patriots debut against the Seattle Seahawks in an all-cream outfit with a black YSL belt.
