As Joe Burrow and the Bengals played a December road game against the Cowboys last season, burglars broke into the Cincinnati quarterback's home, stealing personal items. Burrow was one of a number of pro athletes—a list that includes Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Luka Doncic, Mike Conley and others—to become victims of a South American crime ring that reportedly targeted professional athletes while they were away from their homes during games. The items taken from his house had a reported value of around $300,000, according to an unsealed FBI document obtained by ESPN.
Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, a New York City pawn shop owner and New Jersey resident, pleaded guilty over his connection to the ring, the U.S. Attorney's office in the Eastern District of New York said, per ESPN.
