Sometimes in football you have to make the tackle or keep your hands on a guy until the official confirms the play is over. However, Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins might have gotten a little too personal doing so on this play.

Clemson had stuffed Ohio State running back Curtis Samuel at the like, and Wilkins went in at the end of the play to help make the tackle. And the end of the play, though, Wilkins gets his hands a little too much on Samuel and the internet was swift to point it out.
Of course, this is football; things like this happen somewhat often just from the nature of trying to tackle a guy or getting into a pile on a fumble. This one, though? This was awkward.
