Police Thought Corey Clement was a Barricade Jumper
Published:
Fresh off a 100-yard receiving performance in the Eagles’ first-ever Super Bowl win, Corey Clement was confused for an unruly fan at Thursday’s parade.
Video shot by Jon James and posted on Instagram shows police officers approaching Clement, grabbing him, and then letting him go when realizing he was actually a player:

Looks like the bike cop tells the other officers that Clement is with the motorcade. Police radio chatter was buzzing at the start of the parade, asking for their colleagues to keep the players on the buses for security reasons.
Listen, it happens. We’ve all been there before.
