Chicago Bears linebacker and former Indianapolis Colt Jerrell Freeman found himself in a serious situation Sunday.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Freeman was eating at a restaurant in Austin's Bergstrom International Airport when Freeman saw a man in distress.
He performed the Heimlich maneuver twice on a man that was choking. Freeman told the Chicago Tribune that the maneuver was successful.
"I grabbed him again and hit him again with it," Freeman told the Chicago Tribune. "And when I put him down the second time, his eyes got big. He was like, 'Oh, my god! I think you just saved my life, man!' It was crazy."
Freeman later posted a photo to Twitter to explain the situation he encountered:
Freeman signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Chicago Bears before last season. Before moving to the Bears, he played four seasons with the Colts.
