A curious rumor started spreading on Thursday, with the source being the mouth of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs.
During an appearance on the "Green Light with Chris Long" podcast, Jacobs was asked what he was most excited about for the Packers' scheduled season-opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil. His answer wasn't exactly what the NFL and Brazil would have wanted to hear.
The two-time Pro Bowler, who signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers in March, claimed he had been told that people would not be allowed to wear green and that the area was dangerous enough players would potentially have to stay off the streets unless they were in armored vehicles.
