Charles Tillman is safe — and clean — after emergency landing

Charles Tillman is heading to his first training camp with the Carolina Panthers with a pure spirit.

And clean shorts.

According to WCNC, the veteran cornerback was on an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Charlotte that had to make an emergency landing in Indianapolis Tuesday night.

The plane was sent to Indy for what an airline spokesperson called an “indication of a mechanical issue.” But after it was checked out there, it was cleared to fly and continued to Charlotte.

Tillman tweeted out a video from inside a plane, showing emergency vehicles parked around it with the caption: “Hopefully this will be my first and only emergency landing… #changingmyunderwearnow #thankyoujesus”

It’s good to know that Tillman’s prepared, keeping a clean pair in his carry-on bag.
