Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn is being hailed a hero after helping save a man’s life from a burning car on Sunday night.

“Last night myself and these 3 absolute heroes helped save a man’s life by rescuing him from a vehicle up in flames after a bad crash,” Osborn wrote on Twitter. “A situation I’d never imagine being a part of in a million years.”

Osborn, 25, was on his way home in an Uber after a workout in Austin, Texas, when he was alerted by his driver that a car had crashed under a bridge and burst into flames, he said on The Adam Schefter Podcast.

Being a Packer Fan and Stockholder, I praise him for his heroism. The NFC North is full of great people.

What a great story, thanks for posting. Mr. Osborn seems to be a very admirable fellow. For those who won’t read the whole story, even though he is playing in the NFL he is studying for a Masters in Criminal Justice. Plus the random life saving!

There was a time, some six, seven years ago, when New Jersey Senator Cory Booker was known for such rescues of people and sometimes of animals.

Have to go to the 2nd sentence.

“Last night myself and these 3 absolute heroes helped save a man’s life by rescuing him from a vehicle up in flames after a bad crash,” Osborn wrote on Twitter.
