Gone is a vital member of the Green Bay Packers
Threats to kill over a football match? Jesus, y’all need aid,” Valdes-Scantling wrote on Twitter on Sunday evening. It’s genuinely sick. I’m doing fine. My group has my back.
After the game, a number of Packers coaches and players supported the third-year receiver. Two minutes after Valdes-Scantling fumbled at Green Bay’s 30-yard line in the first overtime period, Rodrigo Blankenship made the game-winning field goal.
Retweeting Valdes-Scantling’s post, offensive lineman Lucas Patrick said, “There is no other dude I’d want on my team!!!”
Also supporting Valdes-Scantling, whose 47-yard reception helped set up Green Bay’s game-winning field goal at the end of regulation, were quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Matt LaFleur.
“I adore Marquez so much,” Rodgers remarked. “I see the guy every day, and I can tell how serious he is about it.” Unfortunately, it does occur.
“I’ve got more faith in him now than maybe before,” LaFleur emphasised, adding that he was “very proud of [Valdes-Scantling’s] effort” and that “every time we go out there, he’s providing big plays.”
Prior to posting about purported death threats, Valdes-Scantling, 26, had expressed his desire to gain insight from his error on Sunday.
“I’m grateful, God,” he tweeted. “There can be no growth without failure.”
