Watching the nightly news, it may not seem like it is, but everyday, there’s a story that comes out that shows you just how compassionate strangers can be towards other people.
Over the weekend, Dre Greenlaw was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 5th round of the 2019 NFL Draft, but that was a minor footnote to what he did while he was still playing in Arkansas.
A father named Gerry Daly came out to Twitter to tell a tale about how the youngster saved his daughter from being date raped by a guy at a party.
“Daly’s daughter had been taken to the emergency room, incapacitated and under the influence of what was believed to be alcohol. Tests, however, showed she had been drinking at the party she had attended, but she wasn’t drunk.
“She couldn’t walk, and when she tried to talk, it sounded like ‘tsk .., tsk,’ ” Daly said. “She wasn’t in any danger, so we took her home to monitor her.”
It was then they figured out what happened to her:
“It took a few days for the Dalys to piece together what had happened to their daughter via text messages from her friends. All she could remember was talking with a guy at the party, and then waking up in the hospital with a few of her girlfriends around her. Eventually, the family came to the conclusion that the male had slipped something into her drink, causing her incapacitation.”

From there, Daly figured out who the person was who saved his daughter.
“Daly also discovered that the man tried to take his daughter from the party, but he was thwarted by a Razorbacks football player and his friend. If not for them, there’s no telling what might happened.
That football player was Dre Greenlaw, whom the 49ers selected Saturday in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.”
Daly decided to wait to tell the story, because Greenlaw might’ve gotten in some unnecessary trouble and kicked off the team.
“That could be seen as a violation by Greenlaw, and Daly didn’t want to risk that for a player who appeared to risk much for his daughter. If the confrontation at the party had escalated into a fight, Greenlaw could have been suspended or even kicked off the team.”
What an incredible story!
