NaTaS+ 958 Posted July 24, 2013 via NFL.com This guy has a new fan, hope he makes the squad. On the road to training camp to fight for a roster spot, Tennessee Titans rookie linebacker Jonathan Willard tackled a car fire. Traveling down Interstate 40 on Tuesday in Tennessee, Willard came upon a car on fire and helped pull a woman, her three children and their dog to safety, according to TigerNet.com. "When she pulled over, the car was really on fire at that point," the former Clemson Tiger said. "The driver, she acted like she was in some kind of daze or something. She told me that she didn't stop because she didn't think it was her car that was on fire. Another guy stopped, and we managed to get the kids and the dog out and get them to safety, and then I finally got the woman out." Willard tweeted out pictures of the blaze and said he was surprised more drivers weren't stopping to aid the woman. "I was just glad that we got the kids and all of them out of the car," he said. "I was thinking that I was just doing what everybody else would do, but there were cars just going past us and no one else was stopping, so I don't know if that is what would happen or not." Willard went undrafted and signed with the Titans after a productive senior season at Clemson, leading the Tigers with 95 tackles and compiling three sacks. He now can add gallantry to that resume.

Bangy 19 Posted September 2, 2013 Damn fair play in a time that would of been a challenging one in his life, to get out and show some class and care for others. Well played Mr Willard well played Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
