Jacksonville Jaguars starting defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot received a surprise Tuesday.

According to a team official, as Smoot and his wife, Aumari, were leaving for the hospital to have their baby, Aumari "fell to her knees," at which point Smoot caught her and then proceeded to help deliver their newborn daughter at their Jacksonville home.

Paramedics, whom Smoot had on the phone, guided him in tying the umbilical cord. Ahlani Moon Smoot was born in the couple's living room at around 4 a.m.

Understandably, Smoot ended up missing Jaguars practice Tuesday.
