Vikings Receiver KJ Osborn Helped Save Man From Burning Car

Vikings wide receiver KJ Osborn made an appearance on The Adam Schefter Podcast on Monday, sharing details of his heroic actions over the weekend during which he and three other individuals rescued a man from a burning car in Austin. 

During his sit-down with Schefter, Osborn said he was on his phone in an Uber when his driver alerted him to a wrecked car on the side of the road. The two rushed over to the car, which was engulfed in flames, in order to attempt to remove the individual from inside. 

"I ran up, we initially pulled him out the car, the car's burning up, it's in flames. He has blood on him, he's bleeding...," said Osborn. “We get him out the car… And that’s when I picked him up. And he’s bleeding all over my shirt. I pick him up, and I carry him about 10–15 yards… by then the ambulance came.”
