Cincinnati Bengals TE Drew Sample and wife looking to extract family members from war-torn Ukraine

CINCINNATI - Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample is looking to extract family members out of Ukraine during Russia's invasion of the country.

Sample and his wife, Angelina, told Fox News on Monday morning that Angelina's aunt and grandparents on both sides of her family are still in the war-torn country.

"For us, we've just been trying to see if there's anything we can do to set up a plan where we can get them to us so they feel comfortable leaving, because it's obviously dangerous for them," Sample told Fox News.

According to a report from Cincinnati's WCPO-TV, Angelina was born in Ukraine before later moving to the United States.
