Former Michigan and NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards saved an 80-year-old man from an attack Friday in Farmington Hills, Mich., and was interviewed by a local TV station about his heroics.
After a workout at a YMCA location, the 2004 Biletnikoff Award winner said he heard some commotion in the locker room over how loudly some music was playing. Initially, he stayed out of the altercation until he heard a “thud” that led him to believe a fight had broken out. When he went to investigate, he found a 25-year-old man beating an 80-year-old man.
“He grabs the back of the victim’s head by the hair and he was about to slam it down on the counter,” Edwards recalled. “I grabbed him, subdued him.”
