Everyone has an airlines-related horror story (or six) to share.

On Wednesday, passenger Delilah Cassidy narrowly escaped a truly frightful one -- all thanks to a 6-foot-5, 260-pound NFL tight end who restored her faith in humanity.

Her "angel?" None other than Jermaine Gresham of the Arizona Cardinals. Let's go to the tweets:

I consolidate my bags into one and they measure it and say it’s just a little too big. They proceed to charge me $50, except they only take credit card, no cash. Since I just got back from Europe all my cards are being declined as Chase doesn’t know I’m back.

Credit cards declining. Strict airline rules. We've all been there, Delilah.

I’m astonished and tell him it’s fine not to worry and he hands the lady his card as the American Airlines employees stand in silence shocked by this man’s generosity. They swipe the card and he tells me to have a great flight and hop on board.

My heart is so happy. There are good people in this world. Be that person for someone because I know after this I sure will be.

And now, for the surprise ending we've all been waiting for.

In summation: You're the man, Jermaine Gresham.
