Ravens TE Mark Andrews helps with medical emergency on flight

Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl tight end is a star on and off the football field.

During a flight from Baltimore to Phoenix on the morning of February 1, Andrews assisted medical professionals in stabilizing a woman’s heart rate on the flight. Andrew Springs, a fellow passenger, recounted the event on X.

A woman on my @southwest flight from Baltimore to Phoenix this morning had a mid-flight medical emergency. The doctor and nurse attending to her couldn’t find a strong pulse, her blood pressure was extremely low, and required oxygen to breathe. It was genuinely scary. (1/3)

Paramedics met the flight as soon as we landed. Andrews deplaned quietly. No fanfare. As he has done his whole career, he stepped up in a huge moment when people needed him most.

Watching complete strangers spring into action to help save someone’s life is truly amazing. (3/3)

When he is not catching touchdown passes on the football field, Andrews is a strong advocate for diabetes awareness. Andrews was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age but never let that stop him from pursuing his dream of playing football at the highest level.
