BREAKING NEWS: Baltimore Ravens' Tyler Linderbaum Stuns Passengers with Heartfelt Gesture on Flight, Leaving Everyone Moved
The NFL world is buzzing after Baltimore Ravens' star center, Tyler Linderbaum, made a remarkable and touching gesture that has left both passengers and flight attendants in awe. Known for his powerful presence on the field, Linderbaum has now proven that his leadership and character extend far beyond the gridiron with a simple yet profound act of kindness.
While flying on a commercial flight, Linderbaum, who was seated in first class, noticed an elderly couple struggling to find seats together in the crowded economy section. Without a second thought, he stood up and offered his seat to the couple, allowing them to sit together. It was a small gesture, but one that immediately caught the attention of everyone around him.
"I couldn't believe it," said one passenger who witnessed the exchange. "Here’s a man who could have easily stayed in his first-class seat, but instead, he gave it up without even hesitating. It was so humble and genuine, and it really made an impression on everyone on that flight."
But what happened next was even more remarkable. After helping the couple, Linderbaum didn't just return to his seat in economy class; he quietly spent the rest of the flight engaging with the couple, sharing stories, and offering his assistance whenever needed. Flight attendants were in disbelief at how down-to-earth and selfless Linderbaum was, particularly considering his celebrity status.
“It wasn’t just the seat. It was the way he interacted with them,” said a flight attendant who witnessed the entire exchange. “Tyler didn’t make a scene or ask for attention. He just wanted to make sure they were comfortable and that they had everything they needed. It was truly inspiring to see such a humble, kind person in the spotlight.”
Before deplaning, Linderbaum went above and beyond by giving the elderly couple a signed Ravens jersey and a note that read: “Thank you for your service and for inspiring us all with your love for each other. Never stop being kind.” The couple, visibly overwhelmed, couldn’t stop expressing their gratitude. “It’s not every day you meet someone like him,” the husband said. “We’ll remember this kindness forever.”
Linderbaum’s actions have since gone viral, with NFL fans from across the country praising him for his generosity and genuine spirit. "Tyler Linderbaum is not just a force on the field, but also in life," one fan commented on social media. "This is what true leadership looks like—off the field, with humility, care, and heart."
As the Baltimore Ravens continue their quest for victory this season, Linderbaum’s actions remind us all that athletes can use their platforms for much more than just their athleticism. His kindness and thoughtfulness exemplify what it means to lead by example, showing that real strength is often found in the simplest gestures of humanity.
Colts Predicted to Add Physical Defender in 2026 NFL Draft
With this Indianapolis Colts team looking dangerous, they probably won't be drafting early in 2026. But that’s not going to stop Chris Ballard from doing what he does best — hunting value.
As the season progresses, mock drafts for the 2026 NFL Draft are starting to roll out — and a clear trend is emerging. One that Colts fans have been eyeing for quite some time.
CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson’s latest mock draft has Indianapolis focusing on improving the depleted secondary with their 2026 first-round pick. A move that makes perfect sense.
Wilson has the Colts selecting Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy with the 23rd overall pick.
McCoy, a 6’0”, 193-pound junior, was one of college football’s most physical corners before suffering a torn ACL in January of 2025. Even with that injury, he is still viewed as one of the top defensive backs in the nation.
Wilson has McCoy ranked as his number one cornerback prospect and sixth overall player on his big board for the 2026 NFL Draft.
McCoy's the kind of corner you can leave on an island and let him work against WR1s. He plays with swagger, attacks the ball in the air, and doesn’t shy from run support.
And McCoy’s production backs up the tape. Before his ACL injury in January, he posted an 89.6 PFF coverage grade, the second-highest among Power Four cornerbacks for the 2024 season.
He also earned a near-perfect 99.9 PFF Game Athleticism Score, showcasing elite movement and fluidity in coverage.
Opposing quarterbacks recorded just a 53.6 passer rating when targeting him, and he tied for second among Power Four corners with four interceptions and nine pass breakups.
Drafting McCoy would immediately strengthen this secondary, and given the injury, there’s a real chance he slips to No. 23 — the kind of value Ballard is always hunting.
There are other names that make sense for Indy depending on how the board shakes out, including Mansoor Delane (LSU), a senior corner with physical tools and polish. Colton Hood (Tennessee) also stands out as a versatile defensive back who can play inside or outside.
Beyond those two, Avieon Terrell (Clemson) brings elite short-area quickness and fluid movement, while A.J. Harris (Penn State) fits the Colts’ mold with length and athleticism.
Each pick would add needed depth and upside to a secondary still searching for stability.
If the Colts can land a player like McCoy — or any of the top corners in this class — it would mark another step in solidifying one of the AFC’s fastest-rising defenses.
With the offense already clicking, a strengthened secondary could be what pushes Indianapolis from playoff contender to legitimate Super Bowl threat.
