Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn is a hero after last night.

Osborn revealed on Twitter Monday night that he and three other bystanders helped save a man from a burning car crash on Sunday. 

“Most of the time the saying goes ‘wrong place, wrong time.’ But this time I believe God had me, us at the right place at the exact right time,” Osborn wrote, including a photo of the wreck and the others who assisted in the rescue.

“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. A situation I’d never imagine being apart [sic] of in a million years.”

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the crash occurred in Austin, Texas. 

Schefter also shared more photos of the damage caused, in addition to a podcast episode with more information. 

Kudos to K.J. and his fellow Good Samaritans. 

That’s the biggest play he will make all year, on the football field and off.
