Justin Forsett is known for his quick reactions on the football field.
The Ravens' Pro Bowl running back also had to put those skills to use Saturday, when his wife began going into labor.
Driving through the snow, Forsett got his wife to the hospital in time for the birth of their son, Zion, on Valentine's Day.
Forsett wrote on Twitter that he and his wife had been planning to go to a Lauryn Hill concert Saturday night in Washington.
He shared more about the experience on his Instagram account:
"S/O to my wife @michellekole it took her 4hrs from start to finish to deliver our son Zion," Forsett wrote. "I thought I was going to have to deliver the baby myself in the car on the way to the Birthing Center it happened so fast last night. Driving in that snow storm definitely added a different element to the experience as well but it all worked out. Best Valentines Day Gift ever! So Glad to have Zion J. Forsett home!"
