Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb and his family are shaken this morning after an incident at their home. Cobb, like many other people, has gotten a Tesla, which involves getting an in-home charger. His wife posted a photo on Instagram of the charred house, which was reportedly started when the charger combusted.
Former Green Bay Packers Star Randall Cobb Has a Tesla Fire
According to the Instagram post, the former Green Bay Packers star had his Tesla charging in the garage overnight. The charger combusted and started a fire that quickly spread to the rest of the house. The family was forced to evacuate quickly. Reports indicate no one was injured, but Aiyda Cobb said the family got out “with nothing but the clothes on our back and no shoes on our feet.” She went on to say, “We are lucky to be alive.”
This is a scary incident for Randall Cobb and his family. He has three kids with the youngest being only a few months old. However, there are no details on who exactly was home during the incident. Cobb is a fan-favorite player, and thoughts and prayers were poured out for him and his family on Wednesday morning.
Legacy With The Packers
Cobb has yet to formally retire, but all indications are that he will soon. While he has played for a handful of teams, he will likely retire as a Packer. He was taken in the second round of the 2011 draft out of Kentucky and quickly became a huge part of the offense. In his opening game against the Saints, he took a kickoff 108-yard for a score. His rapport with Aaron Rodgers made him one of the most successful receivers in franchise history.
This is the type of incident fans hate hearing about. Thankfully, everyone is safe, and the only things that were damaged can be replaced. More details should surface as reports get filed. This also is an interesting story because of the Tesla element. Elon Musk is a polarizing character, and many look to discredit the billionaire when they can. However, Packers fans are simply thankful this incident did not turn into a tragedy.
