When the NFL comes to Germany, many fans hope for the New England Patriots. German Jakob Johnson reveals that his enterprising lobbying work is falling on fertile ground.

Munich – The NFL is to come to Germany, and probably as early as 2022. Many fans would like to see the New England Patriots do so, partly because Jakob Johnson, a German, plays there.

One thing is already certain: The fullback will do anything to make sure that the Pats are one of the teams that play a game in Germany.

New England Patriots know how big the fanbase is

“Every chance I get to talk to someone about playing in Germany, I lobby hard,” Johnson told a media panel on Tuesday. And revealed, “It falls on fertile ground, the team realises how big the fanbase is in Germany.”

Johnson promised, “They will go out of their way to be there. But I don’t know who will make the final decision. But I really hope that we will be there. “

“I would be happy about Frankfurt because I know there are a lot of fans there. The Galaxy also just won their first ELF season and have always had a pretty full stadium there,” Johnson said. But it doesn’t matter where you play, Johnson said, “the fact that the NFL plays in Germany is great.”
