After having car broken into, Tua Tagovailoa hired personal security detail

As more homes of pro athletes are invaded and robbed, they need to be thinking about hiring personal security details.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is one step ahead of them.

“I have personal security just because my house had gone broken into — not necessarily my house but one of my cars," Tagovailoa told reporters on Wednesday. "So it’s a little too close for my comfort with my family being in the house. So we got personal security to take care of all of that. When we’re on the road, we got someone with my wife. Got someone also at the house surveying the house. So just to let that be known, they are armed. So I hope if you decide to go to my house, you think twice."

He said the incident happened in the last year or two.

Does he feel like he might be a target?

“I wouldn’t say necessarily I would be a target, but I wouldn’t want to play the chances with my family, my kids sleeping," he said. "My wife sleeping, me sleeping at the house.”

Whether he regards himself as a target, he is. His compensation and profile make him one, especially with the FBI investigating whether a transnational crime ring is robbing the homes of players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

It's not cheap, but given what he's making it's worth it.
