Gabbert and his brother saw the crash, so they immediately got their jet skis in action. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/stories\/nfl\/bucs-qb-blaine-gabbert-helped-in-rescue-of-helicopter-passengers-saving-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">respond<\/a> Fox Sports reported on the efforts to aid victims.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>About 200 yards offshore, the chopper crashed. Hunter Hupp was one of the accident victims. He noted that everything happened so quickly. \u201cLet me tell you, helicopters sink really fast. We learned that rather quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The helicopter crashed, but all four passengers survived. They were left in the water and unsure what to do next. Hupp claims that Gabbert and his fellow passengers were able to get on to their jet skis just minutes after the crash to transport them to dry ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">The jet skis typically can\u2019t handle so many riders, but they served their purpose.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey slowly brought us back to the shore, a sandy beach near the yacht club, and hung out for a while, were really nice,\u201d Hupp was also added. \u201cWe exchanged pleasantries upon reaching flat ground. They were really an asset to helping us out, because we were the only ones out there for a while. It was a handshake and a hug and, \u2018Thank you so much.\u2019 They went out for a nice afternoon ride and just happened to come upon a stranded helicopter family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabbert later resisted being called a hero at a team conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just a pretty crappy situation that turned good in the end,\u201d Gabbert shared his thoughts with the media. \u201cI was just right place, right time \u2026 the credit really goes out to Tampa PD, fire department, sheriff\u2019s department because they were there within five seconds. It was pretty remarkable. It wasn\u2019t me, just my brothers and I out having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Video: Blaine Gabbert, along with his brothers, said that they were just in time and in the right place at the right moment to rescue four people when their helicopter crashed into water near Davis Islands. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7AmUFEtdio\">pic.twitter.com\/7AmUFEtdio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Auman (@gregauman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gregauman\/status\/1608880477477433345?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 30, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">Hupp joked that he didn&#8217;t know that one of his rescuers had been an NFL player. \u201calmost\u201d met Tom Brady.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMy mom said she was hoping to meet Tom Brady while we were down here,\u201d Hupp claimed. \u201cI think she came pretty darn close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabbert didn&#8217;t make much of his role in helping to recover the accident victims.

Soon enough, however, the team discovered the truth and was somewhat shocked by the story.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Licht, Bucs General Manager, texted Gabbert to inquire if Gabbert believed the story.
