Tom Brady is perhaps the most talked about player in the Bucs’ squad. But, that changed after the incident. Blaine Gabbert may be a backup role in the league but right now he’s everyone’s frontman and hero. Unlike his team’s name- the Buccaneers– Gabbert became a knight in shining armor. The QB was involved in the rescue of passengers from a helicopter that crashed into the Bay.

Gabbert and his brothers were lauded as heroes in this rescue. But, how was the QB instrumental in this situation?

Tom Brady, for a change, is not Tampa Bay’s man of the hour

A humble Gabbert didn’t think that the incident would be brought to the media’s attention, saying he was only trying to do the right thing. The helicopter that made the emergency water landing consisted of three passengers alongside the pilot. Gabbert and his brothers loaded them onto their jet skis and gave them a ride back to shore.
