Minnesota Vikings player K.J. Osborn is being hailed as a hero after he rescued a man from a burning car.
Osborn's good deed occurred Sunday in Austin while he was on his way to training camp, he says. "Right place right time," the 25-year-old wide receiver says. "Most of the time the saying goes, 'wrong place, wrong time.' But I believe God had me, us, at the right place at the exact right time."
Osborn says after he pulled the man from the vehicle, two other good Samaritans helped carry him to safety. "He's bleeding, his blood is on me," he says. "We carry him like 10, 15 yards trying to get away from the car, just in case it blows up. Without us, you know, he could have definitely for sure burned in that car. It was a situation I'd never imagine being a part of in a million years."
