To be honest, I was running
after the ball, and I caught
my hand under, so when I
was trying to get back up,
I couldn't get up, and I fell
back on him, Cam Heyward, via statement.
I know it looks terrible, (but) there was nothing malicious behind it. I don't think I was trying to punch him, but I know it looks worse than it is in slow motion. I'm sorry if I did anything to offend anybody, Cam Heyward, via statement.
