Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert was among the bystanders to help rescue a man and his family from a helicopter that had to make an emergency landing in the water surrounding Davis Islands on Thursday, according to Matt Cohen of the Tampa Bay Times.
Gabbert was on a personal watercraft at the time of the incident, according to Cohen.
Hunter Hupp and his parents were taking a helicopter tour over Tampa and the city's beaches as a Christmas Gift before he heard a "popping sound" from above his head. The helicopter's engine had failed and it wasn't going to make it back to the airport.
