Get Breadcrumb Path in Custom controller Magento 2

Question

I am trying to get breadcrumb path in my controller by using this helper

public function __construct(\Magento\Catalog\Helper\Data $catalogData, ) {
$this->catalogData = $catalogData;
}
$path = $this->catalogData->getBreadcrumbPath();

When I print $path it's giving me an empty array. But when I get this helper function in any product phtml file like this

$helper = $this->helper('\Magento\Catalog\Helper\Data');
$values = $helper->getBreadcrumbPath();

it's giving me the full path in phtml. How can I access this function in my controller as well?
