“He was raised here," Cox said of White. “He wants to come into town, and he wants to throw a big party.”

Louisiana troopers and the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office will assist with traffic but won't be enforcing social distancing guidelines, the mayor said..

A representative for the linebacker told TMZ Sports that coronavirus safeguards will be encouraged. According to the site, event organizers are encouraging people to wear masks and wash their hands frequently
