Shokey saves choking teammate

[SARA.SCHNUETTGEN. (:]

Carolina Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey's biggest play of the preseason came in the team's cafeteria, when he saved fellow tight end Ben Hartsock from choking. According to the National Football Post, the harrowing incident happened Monday during lunch when Hartsock began to choke on a piece of pork tenderloin. He reportedly tried clearing it by drinking water but was unsuccessful, prompting another Panther to perform the Heimlich Maneuver to no avail.

That is when the veteran Shockey stepped in, using the Heimlich to clear his teammate's airway.

Hartsock's agent, Mike McCartney, described the heroics to the National Football Post.

wow! what do you think about this? what would you do if your teammate was choking?
