With a increase in burglaries affecting professional athletes and their houses, an ancient Green Bay Packers The star isn’t too worried about anyone touching her Hobart home.
During a New York Jets press conference Wednesday, old Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked about the recent burglary of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. On Monday, police responded to calls to Burrow’s home regarding a burglary. Burrow and the Bengals were in Arlington, Texas to play the Dallas Cowboys at the time of the facts.
Rodgers noted that he provides full-time security at his New Jersey home, to which he credits the daily mail for the decision. “Thanks to the Daily Mail for airing my bullshit,” he told reporters.
Rodgers then discusses his Wisconsin ownership, which has yet to be sold despite being traded by the Packers over a year ago. He doesn’t seem too concerned about anyone trespassing, as it appears someone has been watching over Rodgers’ absence.
“In Wisconsin, everyone has guns, so it’s a little less likely,” he said. “I hope my friends are still here, well taken care of.”

The NFL has already sent a notice to teams about the break-ins because burglars have exploited team schedules to target athletes’ homes during game days. Kansas City Chiefs players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were victims of burglaries back in October.
Burglaries also occur with other professional athletes. Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis was robbed at his River Hills home, police say similar to other burglaries that the athletes had to face.
Rodgers noted in his interview that the NFL has a “really good” resource for players, where they have security experts who come to them.
“They give you ideas on where to put the cameras, where the weak points are. I think guys in general don’t use it because they don’t have the time, or they think something else, or they’re busy playing video games or whatever,” Rodgers said.
