The move of German professional footballer Jakob Johnson to the Las Vegas Raiders is perfect.

Köln (SID) – The transfer of German professional football player Jakob Johnson to the Las Vegas Raiders has been finalised. On Thursday, the NFL club from the gambling paradise announced the signing of the 27-year-old. Previously, several league insiders had reported that the fullback would be going to the Raiders.

Stuttgart said goodbye to the New England Patriots, the NFL pro’s previous employer, via Instagram after the deal was announced. He was “forever grateful” to the club, the city of Boston and the fans, Johnson said. What team owner Robert Kraft has done for football in Germany will have an “impact for generations”. Head coach Bill Belichick had fulfilled an “inexperienced and unknown guy’s” “lifelong dream” of the NFL.

Johnson was released on Sunday by the Patriots, for whom he had played since his NFL debut. Since 2019, Johnson had appeared in 38 games for the franchise, catching his first NFL touchdown in a game against the Seattle Seahawks in 2020.
