Robber Breaks Into Wrong House - Eagles Giant Drops Him Like It’s Game Day
Share this article:
Philadelphia’s football community was shaken after news surfaced of an attempted armed robbery involving a member of the Eagles. Security footage quickly made the rounds, capturing the attention of fans and teammates across the city.
Late Wednesday night, two masked criminals reportedly followed an athlete and his friend home, intent on stealing their car and valuables. The confrontation escalated as the robbers issued threats and demanded keys in the driveway.
The athlete at the center of this ordeal is recognized for his massive frame and calm under pressure. When one intruder swung a baseball bat, the scene threatened to spiral into violence.
That’s when Jordan Mailata, the Eagles’ 6-foot-8, 365-pound offensive tackle, sprang into action. Using his sheer strength and quick reflexes, Mailata overpowered the attacker, grabbing the assailant’s hat in the chaos and sending the robbers fleeing in panic. Reflecting on the ordeal, Mailata shared: “I wouldn’t advise anyone to do what I did—especially if you have a family. When someone threatens your home, your instinct is to protect it. But sometimes, keeping your loved ones safe is what matters most. Don’t take risks if you’re not sure. Philadelphia taught me to be tough, but family always comes first.”
Police later used DNA from the discarded hat to identify one suspect as Abderaham Muse, a repeat offender with a long criminal record. Muse is now in custody as authorities continue to pursue his accomplices.
Prosecutor Martin Lewis confirmed, “No injuries occurred, but the shock was immense. Thankfully, Mailata’s courage prevented a more dangerous outcome,” according to The Athletic.
Judge Anupama Thompson highlighted the random nature of the crime: “He saw a nice car and house, thinking it was an easy target. A trial will be scheduled soon,” she said as proceedings move forward.
Eagles fans have rallied behind Mailata, praising his composure and strength in a moment of crisis. Comparisons are already being made to other NFL stars who have shown courage under threat.
As training camp continues, Philadelphia supporters hope Mailata’s resilience and leadership will set the tone for the Eagles this season. Stay tuned to ESPN for further updates.
