Retired NFL star defensive back Richard Sherman's house was robbed while his family was at home, the former Super Bowl champion said on social media on Monday, asking for information to catch the perpetrators.
A post on X showed screengrabs of multiple individuals inside the former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback's home in Washington state, time-stamped to Saturday, a day before Sherman's birthday.
"House being robbed at gun point with my family in it isn't what anyone wants for a birthday gift," said Sherman, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and broadcast analyst for "Thursday Night Football."

U.S. prosecutors last month unveiled criminal charges against seven suspected members of a Chilean theft ring accused of breaking into the homes of professional athletes while they were playing games. Some were caught with memorabilia stolen from the home of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
