Let’s be clear. Fans are in danger of getting hurt whenever they choose to rush the field at the end of a game.
It’s an accident waiting to happen. But from the look of it, what Jabrill Peppers did was no accident.

Nobody knows what was said to Peppers or how good he got the OSU fan. Still, in a tense moment, he let his frustrations boil over.
Surely he’s not the only one who would’ve reacted that way. Unfortunately for Peppers, the camera is always on him.
