A former wide receiver for Saddleback College in Orange County caught a 3-year-old boy who was thrown from a burning building earlier this month.

Phillip Blanks, a 28-year-old football player and former Marine, was visiting a friend in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 3 when he heard cries for help from outside. He thought it was a fight at first, but as he left the building, he heard someone shout “fire,” The Independent reported.
