The Stuttgart Surge announced New England Patriots fullback Jakob Johnson as a new co-owner of their franchise, as reported by the team.

The German NFL player is more than excited to be part of the Surge franchise, as he commented in a video posted by the Stuttgart organization: “Stuttgart, it’s time. Let’s go Surge!“.

The NFL player worked his way up to be part of the NFL International Player Pathway Program after playing at the University of Tennessee from 2014 to 2017. Being signed by the Patriots in 2019 as a free agent, the German fullback carved himself out a huge role in New England’s offense over the past three years.

“We are extremely happy to have gained Jakob [Johnson] as a co-owner. He represents the values of our franchise and is a huge role model for all our young players”, new Surge general manager Suni Musa commented, according to the team’s press release. He added: “[Jakob Johnson] was raised in Stuttgart and is a huge fan of the European League of Football. I am looking forward to his ideas and to our collaboration!”.
