On their way to the combine last Monday, the two trainers helped save an elderly woman on an airplane at Newark Airport. According to The Star-Ledger, the door had just closed on Koch and Zuffelato’s flight when a passenger alerted others on the plane that a woman sitting next to her needed immediate medical attention.

The trainers, along with a doctor onboard, helped the woman off the plane and performed CPR for approximately five minutes until paramedics arrived.

“We’re conditioned to help people,” Zuffelato told The Star-Ledger. “When the situation arose, the doctor, Josh and I did our best to help.”

Meaning the Jets’ trainers actually might be more clutch than their players.
