Danous Estenor was on his way to grab dinner when he heard yelling from a nearby parking garage. Estenor arrived at the source of the cries to find tow-tuck driver Pedro Arzola stuck underneath the tire of a 3,500-pound Cadillac Seville. At the time, Estenor was a backup offensive lineman for the University of South Florida, weighing 295 pounds at six feet tall.

There was a woman on the scene who was previously trying to lift the car herself, to no avail. Estenor mustered all the strength he could and miraculously lifted the car so the man in question could get back up.

Athletes aren’t always noticed in times like these, but when they are, they might not take credit for their good deeds as you’ll soon read.
