Joe Burrow becomes the latest NFL star to become the victim of a home robbery, joining Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Burrow was in Dallas to play against the Cowboys on Monday when his home was burglarized. The NFL recently released a memo regarding the incident.
Barrow spoke briefly about the incident Wednesday, saying that living a life where one's whereabouts are always known adds to the stress.

“So obviously everyone has heard what happened. I feel like my privacy has been violated in a lot of ways, and it's a lot more than I would like.” It's already out there and I want to share it, so all I have to do is 'tell me about it,''' Barrow began.
“We live a public life, but one of the parts of it I hate the most is the lack of privacy. And that's been difficult for me to deal with throughout my career. I'm still learning. But I understand that this is the life we choose. We need to make it easier to deal with.”

Tua Tagovailoa says he's beefed up security after NFL player's home robbery: 'Think about it'
Last month, the league warned its players to be on high alert after a raid on a home believed to be linked to international organized crime.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported last month that the FBI is investigating the crime spree, which is “believed to be connected to a South American criminal organization.”
At least one other NFL player reportedly had his home burglarized.
