Randall Cobb, family ‘lucky to be alive’ after Tesla chargers starts fire

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Former Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb and his family are ‘lucky to be alive’ after their Tesla chargers started a fire at their home.

Aiyda Cobb recounted the incident on Wednesday with a post to her Instagram account, along with a picture of the damage.

“We are lucky to be alive. The Tesla charger caught on fire in the garage late last night and quickly spread. We got out of the house with nothing but the clothes on our back and no shoes on our feet. I’ll explain more later but posting this in case I miss any appts, calls, texts, meetings. Thank you GOD,” said Aiyda Cobb in her Instagram post.

Randall Cobb spent ten of his 13 year NFL career with the Packers, and joined the New York Jets after friend and quarterback Aaron Rodgers was traded there last season.
