ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (WFRV) – Kids had a chance to show off their football skills to Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs on Friday night.
The Pro Bowl running back hosted a football camp at Titletown’s football field.
“It’s something that I always wanted to do because of the love and the support I got from this community just coming in year one,” said Jacobs. “They treated me like family, so it’s just about giving back to the community.”

Several other NFL players, including former Wisconsin Badger great Alec Ingold, joined Jacobs for the camp.
“A blessing to be in that position to have that impact on others, just trying to do it in a positive light,” Jacobs said. “(I want them to see) how fun the game is, where they’re at right now is when the love of the game is the most pure.”
