The NFL's security division is warning players to be aware of professional burglars targeting the homes of pro athletes.

The Athletic reported Thursday that the NFL sent a memo to teams that outlines the threat.

"The homes of professional athletes across multiple sports leagues have become increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups," read the memo, which was obtained by The Athletic. "Law enforcement officials have noted these groups appear to exploit team schedules to target athletes' homes on game days."
