Green Bay, WI (WDJT) — Green Bay Packers players have a new game plan for connecting with fans in the community during the pandemic. They’re turning into robots.
Players usually make around 800-900 appearances each year, but with the Coronavirus pandemic, Packers officials had to think outside the box which led them to something pretty unique.
A screen is hooked up to a device on wheels allowing the players to interact with people virtually. They also sport the players’ jersey!
The robots are from a company in New York. They connect to WiFi and allow the player at home to use their phone or laptop to control it and communicate with fans.
