In the new logo that emblazons the front of the T-shirts often worn by the few employees of Rosenhaus Sports Representation, the "S" is large and exaggerated, reminiscent of the famous crest worn by Superman.

On Tuesday afternoon, for one imperiled toddler, NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus, who collects superhero figurines as a hobby, became a real-life Superman.

Orange County (Fla.) Police confirmed that Rosenhaus, acting quickly in a moment of crisis, saved the life of 4-year-old Maurice Hill, who had essentially drowned in the pool at the Grand Floridian Hotel in Orlando. Rosenhaus administered CPR to Hill, who had no pulse when he was yanked from the pool, until paramedics arrived and took over the treatment of the youngster.

"He basically brought [Hill] back," said Cpl. Carlos Torres, public information officer for the Orange County Police Department. "The kid was gone and [Rosenhaus] saved a life. It's legitimate. Who knows how it would have turned out had he not been around? The guy was a hero today."

Said Cpl. Bob Leben, the deputy who commenced the investigation of the incident: "[Rosenhaus] certainly stepped up."

Hill was transported to Celebration Hospital, where police said he was listed in stable condition. Hospital officials did not immediately return messages, nor could the Hill family be reached. A spokesperson at the hotel also confirmed the events.

Rosenhaus was in Orlando for an appearance at the ESPN Club and to meet with some of his clients. He took a short break from business to honor a promise he had made, to take his girlfriend to the pool, when the incident occurred.

"When I was in high school, I was a lifeguard, and had learned CPR," Rosenhaus said. "In a situation like that, instincts kind of take over, I think. Let me tell you, this is the happiest day of my life. To save a little boy like that, who has his whole life in front of him, it's incredibly gratifying."

Rosenhaus also stated that "I have a resonable fee for this type of service. I'm sure the parents will find it more than fair."

For a guy that loves the limelight and will mess around with the careers of others for his own personal gain....I'm sure it was incredibly gratifying.

I don't blame him though. Nobody is forcing guys to select him as their agent. They all know what he is all about.

from what I understand, the kid was originally listed in satisfactory condition, but held out to be upgraded to stable

I'm very happy for the Hill family that he was there.

That was my first thought when I read the story.

Nice jokes guys but in all seriousness I think its awesome that he was able to save this kid. Regardless of his usual assholishness, in this instance he came through in a big way. Unfortunately, it may be the last time we hear of Rosenhaus doing something right.

What are the odds on this kid growing up to be a quarterback?

[ageofquarrel]

he probably pushed him in.
