Nelson Agholor, Philadelphia Eagles receiver, extended an invitation to a local man and his family after sweeping the NFL player off his capturing abilities while describing his heroic actions.
Hakim Laws said Monday at CBS Philadelphia that he was helping first responders get residents out of a burning building.
"I see a guy hanging at the window shouting that his kids were inside," Laws TV station, a former firefighter, told the newspaper. "My man just started throwing babies … and we caught them, unlike Agholor and all his ailments." At least three people were hospitalized after the fire, according to CBS Philadelphia.
The clip became instantly viral and eventually attracted Agholor's attention.

The wide receiver begged Twitter to help him get in touch with the local hero.

Agholor faces Eagles fans frustration in the first two weeks of the season before rebounding on Sunday.
In the Eagles' loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, he was targeted 12 times and recorded eight receptions for 50 yards and two touchdowns. However, it may take more than that to make Philly forget his decisive fall in the defeat of his team 24 to 20 against the Atlanta Falcons during the second week.
