Green Bay Packers fans are some of the most passionate fans in the NFL. That has been made clear time and time again through Lambeau Field sell-outs, traveling to opponents’ stadiums, and the sheer presence they have around the NFL.
Social media is no different. Fans will defend their players until they’re blue in the face, however, they will also express their opinions to current players. That was no different today when one all-pro posted a controversial statement.
Green Bay Packers All-Pro Keisean Nixon Posted Controversial Statement Online
Keisean Nixon, the Green Bay Packers’ current All-Pro return specialist, is under fire for a post to Twitter (X) that sounded like he was supporting Henry Ruggs III.
Nixon posted a simple message to X on Sunday, April 28. “Free HR3” was posted from Nixon’s Twitter, which many fans speculate had to do with freeing Henry Ruggs III.
Free HR3💙

According to records, former Las Vegas Raider Henry Ruggs III is serving his three-to-10-year prison sentence in a northern Nevada prison camp.
A court sentenced Ruggs on Aug. 9, 2023, after he admitted to driving drunk at 156 mph and killing 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog. The accident occurred in November 2021. According to prosecutors, Ruggs’ blood-alcohol level was 0.16, which is twice the legal limit.
According to records, Ruggs was sentenced to the High Desert State Prison northwest of Las Vegas. It is 45 minutes from Las Vegas, the largest prison in the department.
