An incident during a weekend festival involving Darron Lee of the Jets appears to have been defused by teammate Leonard Williams.
Two videos posted to social media late Saturday night show a visibly agitated and irritated man (allegedly Lee) needing to be restrained (by a man reported to be Williams). You can see the footage below.
