Dawuane Smoot has had quite the week, both on and off the field. After being one of the standouts of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first win of the season in London, it wasn’t long before he had to come up big as a family man as his wife, Aumari, had to deliver their second child at their place of residence.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the two were attempting to get to the hospital when Aumari fell to her knees and Dawuane leaped right into action to catch her. At that point, the two quickly realized that their baby daughter, Ahlani, would have to be delivered in their living room.
With the help of the paramedics who walked Smoot through tying the umbilical cord over the phone, the delivery went smoothly and Ahlani was brought into the world at 4 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19.
With the week off, and stellar performances behind him on and off the field, we’re sure he’ll enjoy this time with his wife and their bundle of joy.
