Former Tennessee Titans linebacker Wesley Woodyard took to Twitter on Friday evening to share the story of how he came to the rescue of two people involved in a car accident.
Woodyard revealed that he was driving down highway U.S. 27 when he saw a car that was going in the opposite direction flipped over, and he immediately sprung into action.
The 12-year NFL veteran proceeded to rescue the man driving the car, as well as his son, who had to be pulled from his car seat.
“Today I was driving on HW US 27 when a car driving the opposite direction of me flipped over. My hero mode kicked in. Next thing I know I’m pulling the dad out and crawling through the car to pull his son out of the car seat. Man that was scary,” Woodyard tweeted.

Thankfully the 34-year-old was in the right place at the right time to lend a helping hand. Hopefully the father and son are doing alright after such a harrowing situation.
Wesley, who spent six seasons with the Titans but did not play in 2020 after becoming a free agent, has further proved that heroes don’t always wear capes, and his good deed is certainly commendable to say the least.
