Turns out Graham Gano isn’t such a bad guy after all.
The Carolina Panthers kicker apparently made amends with Bethune-Cookman trombonist Marquel Ballard, whom he shoved away while trying to warm up during halftime of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The video of Gano pushing Ballard band quickly went viral, causing the kicker to immediately regret his actions.
Gano made up for it in awesome way, though, getting in touch with Ballard, an Atlanta Falcons fan, and offering him two tickets and field passes to the Panthers’ Week 17 game in Atlanta.

Both parties win because of Gano’s kind gesture, as Ballard gets a trip of a lifetime while Gano proves he’s not a jerk.
Just don’t mess with him while he’s warming up.
