April 22 (UPI) -- Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard took a break from off-season training to help change a stranger's tire on the roadside. The 6-foot-2, 234-pound 2018 Defensive Rookie of the Year saw the Buick while traveling and pulled over. He got out of his car and got out some tools, before going to work on the right rear tire of the vehicle.

"Appreciate it," said Martha Isabel, the driver of the car.
"No problem," Leonard said in a video Isabel posted to Twitter on Sunday.
"Thank the Lord for angels," Isabel said.
"Darius Leonard continues to be an outstanding player on and off the field," Isabel wrote in the caption for her Twitter post. "So thankful to God that he stopped and helped me. Much love!"
