NFL defensive tackle speaks out after home is burglarized during game
Nine suspects emerge from small car before vape shop burglary
The home of Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons was burgled on Sunday evening while he was playing an away game in San Francisco.
Simmons discovered the incident upon returning from the Titans' loss and shared security footage appearing to show two masked individuals entering his house.
The Titans confirmed the burglary, stating that team security is actively working with Metro Nashville Police Department to recover stolen items, and no residents were home.
Simmons expressed significant relief his family was not present, saying, "What if any of my family members was in my house?? All that materialistic s*** you can have but this is crazy!"
The incident follows warnings from the FBI to sports leagues in December 2024 about organised crime groups targeting professional athletes' homes, often when they are away for games.
