Joe Burrow Says Heisman Is Locked Up After Home Burglary

The onstage remark underscores steps the quarterback and leagues have taken to protect players’ homes and prized memorabilia following a high-value break-in.

Overview

  • Burrow told fans at a Fanatics Fest appearance that his Heisman trophy is kept “locked up in a safe place” to deter thieves and limit access.
  • The quarterback’s warning follows a Dec. 9, 2024 burglary of his Anderson Township, Ohio home in which about $300,000 in jewelry, watches and luxury items were taken.
  • Authorities said suspects photographed themselves with some stolen items, including necklaces bearing Burrow’s No. 9 and “JB9” pendants.
  • Burrow said the break-in violated his privacy and that more personal information became public than he wanted to share.
  • The robbery was one of several high-profile break-ins that prompted NFL and NBA security notices and has led teams and players to increase home protections.
