Nelson Thomas -- a star of MTV's 'The Challenge' -- has just revealed that he is NFL player K.J. Osborn and three other people helped out of a violent car accident in beginning of the month... thanking the group for saving his life.

As previously reported, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver said he was in an Uber home from a practice session in Austin, Texas on March 5...when he saw a car that had crashed and caught fire.

Osborn, his driver and two others rushed to help...and managed to pull the man away from the fiery scene.

Turns out it was Thomas that the group of heroes saved...and he's yelling at each one of them.

"I want to thank [K.J.] for being on the scene and filming my rescue," Thomas tweeted... adding that he is "eternally grateful" to the other three of the getting out of the car and "risking his own life to save mine."

Thomas also shared photos of his injuries from the hospital bed - which appear to be cuts and burns to his ankle and arm - and says he is feeling fine and getting stronger, but he has a long way to go before he gets back to 100%.
