Chicago Bears Lineman Charles Leno Jr. Lends Helping Hand to Bus

When a Chicago Bears fan’s bus broke down on the highway, he never would have guessed that an actual member of the team would stop to help him.

That’s exactly what happened to Jim Martin, who was driving to Iowa when his Bears-themed bus broke down.

What happened next is extraordinary: Bears lineman Charles Leno Jr., who was travelling down to Bourbonnais for the team’s training camp, stopped to ask if he could help get Martin back on the road:

Bus is home, fixed, and we are getting it ready to roll. Just put the bar in for the kegs and fixing the bike rack on top next. Bourbonnais might be the next trip. @RAGBRAI_IOWA @ChicagoBears @charleslenojr72 pic.twitter.com/4qq4cJXeTJ

Leno himself posted a photo next to the bus, saying that the team will not break down:

While driving I saw a Bears bus that was stopped on the side of the road. As I passed it I thought to myself that the DA BEARS bus is NOT breaking down this year, so I turned back around to check out what was going on. We’re fully gassed up heading into camp this year 😎🐻⬇️ pic.twitter.com/NJ269zsdwI

“As I passed it I thought to myself that DA BEARS bus is NOT breaking down this year, so I turned back around to check out what was going on,” Leno tweeted.

Leno and the Bears will host their first public practice of the training camp season on Saturday in Bourbonnais.
