VIDEO: Oklahoma LB Kenneth Murray Details Incredible Story of Saving Woman's Life After Car Accident
By Karl Rasmussen
Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray is a remarkable individual, but not just for his prowess on the gridiron. During a media session at the NFL Combine, Murray was asked about a particularly special moment of his life -- the time he saved a woman's life after a car crash. After a collision involving a car in front of his, Murray was on the scene to help out, even giving CPR to a woman who he described was bleeding from her head and was unconscious.

As humble as Murray was while recounting this amazing story, his action was nothing short of heroic, as he quite literally saved a woman's life by simply reacting. Rather than boast about his actions, Murray summed it all up to simply, "being in the right place at the right time."
Murray admitted his intention was for this story not to be made public. However, a student from the school newspaper happened to be driving by and caught sight of Murray -- he's pretty hard to miss considering he stands in at 6-2 and nearly 245 pounds. The story has since gone viral, and Murray has handled it with class every step of the way.
