A Xavier McKinney Imposter and How It Impacts the Green Bay Packers' Star

Somebody tried to impersonate Green Bay Packers star Xavier McKinney in order to receive a massive financial loan. That plan has reportedly been found out and thwarted, but one has to wonder how and if this will impact the actual Xavier McKinney. As it's being reported, first by veteran reporter Daniel Kaplan, that someone posed as McKinney to try to get a $4.

375 million loan from the lender. That lender is now suing the broker, who apparently believed that this was the actual McKinney. The lender is Aliya Sports Finance Fund, which is suing the broker, Sure Sports, for "alleged negligence in failing to perform due diligence when introducing the McKinney imposter to the lender for a seven-figure loan," Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk wrote .

This is not a new update. It's just something that has now come to the public's attention via Kaplan's reporting. The civil complaint was actually filed a year ago in Florida, where both ASFF and Sure Sports are located.

The trial will begin on July 13, 2026, and one would imagine the $87,500 that Sure Sports made for introducing the McKinney imposter to ASFF will be in question as well. "ASFF has come to learn that the borrower apparently was not McKinney, but rather a third party who impersonated McKinney to facilitate the disbursement and theft of the Loan proceeds," the lawsuit reportedly reads, per Florio. The McKinney imposter has not been named, but one has to imagine that this person may not have a basic understanding of NFL contracts, salaries, and free agency.
