NFL wide receiver Randall Cobb and his family narrowly escaped a devastating fire at their Nashville home this week, caused by a Tesla car charger. The former New York Jets player shared images of the damage on social media, expressing gratitude for their safety.
Cobb’s wife, Aiyda Cobb, took to Instagram to share their harrowing experience, stating, “We are lucky to be alive.” The fire started in the garage late at night and quickly spread, forcing them to flee with only the clothes on their backs.
Despite the loss of their home and belongings, Cobb expressed gratitude for the heroic actions of the first responders, particularly praising the Nashville Fire Department for their swift response. The family’s health and safety remain their top priority as they navigate the aftermath of the fire.
Cobb, a free agent after his time with the Jets, has played for several NFL teams throughout his career, including the Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, and Houston Texans. The community in Nashville has rallied around the family, offering support and temporary shelter during this difficult time.
