Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrows spoke about the invasion of his privacy as he deals with the recent break-in at his home.

The 28-year-old NFL player spoke with reporters Wednesday about the robbery of his home in Ohio while he was in Arlington, Texas on Monday night playing against the Dallas Cowboys.

“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one,” Burrow said. “Way more is out there than I would want out there and that I care to share. So that’s all I’ve got to say about that.”

“We live a public life, and one of my least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy,” Burrow added. “That has been difficult for me to deal with for my entire career. I’m still learning. I understand that’s the life that we choose, but it doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.”

The home in Anderson Township was reportedly broken into between Sunday afternoon and Monday night, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident is the latest in a string of home break-ins occurring while athletes, such as Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, were away at games. Mahomes’ house in Belton, Missouri, and Kelce’s home in Leawood, Kansas, were robbed within hours of each other in October.

NFL players were advised through the bulletin to the team to secure their homes and avoid posting about their valuables or their activities away from home. They also suggested taking down any real estate photos depicting their properties.

Warnings of “well-organized, sophisticated rings” of criminals based out of South America were noted in an alert from the National Basketball Association. The warnings come amid an increase in crimes by South American gangs across the nation that have spiked in recent months.

“Obviously it’s frustrating, disappointing,” Mahomes said after the NFL alert.

”(It was) a little too close for my comfort with my family being in the house,” Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said this week after his home was broken into last year. “So we got personal security to take care of all of that. When we’re on the road, we’ve got someone with my wife, got someone also at the house, surveying the house.”

Bobby Portis, Milwaukee Bucks forward in the National Basketball Association shared in a post last month that “prized possessions” were stolen from his home while he was playing a game with his team. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. also reportedly had his home robbed in September while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game.
