Last year, a series of robberies plagued NFL players, with the suspects often choosing to hold their own while the players were on the field on game day. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce again Joe Burrow they were all targeted, resulting in a former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III urging the league to do more to protect players’ homes.
“I just think that, collectively, the NFL should do something to protect the players’ homes while they’re away,” Griffin III, 35, told Self. Us Weekly last December. “The NFL has the power to do it. Yes, it might cost some money, but you have to protect these players and their families when they’re not at home.”
Aaron Rodgersthen working for the New York Jets, told reporters last season that he employs full-time security at his home and that personal safety is not far from his mind.
“It’s something we all think about from time to time,” he said. “You are exposed that way [the thieves] I don’t care if there are cameras on or an alarm set. They will go in and out quickly.”
The disturbing trend has extended to the NBA as well, with the players Bobby Portis, Mike Conley Jr. again Luka Dončić they all fell victim. Ionescu is believed to be the first WNBA player to have her home burglarized at the time.
Ionescu was the No. 1 pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft and has played all six years with the Liberty, helping lead the franchise to its first championship in 2024.
