The Kansas Chiefs had just won against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and were walking out of the field. An eager young fan, however, reached out to the players as they walked past. He reached too far, however, as he flipped over the stands.
Thankfully, lineman Tershawn Wharton saw the boy as he fell and rushed immediately to catch him. What could have been a significant injury to the child was avoided by the quick-thinking of the player. Carson Steele was also looking over the scene on standby as Wharton helped the boy climb back into the stands.
Unfortunately, the footage doesn't show Wharton catching the child as the footage gets blocked by other spectators tending to the scene.
A security guard orders everyone to get back as the situation unfolded. "Everybody, back to your seats. This kid just fell," he said. As he said this, the kid was clambering back over the railing after being saved by Wharton. The man quickly responds and helps him back up.
I don't think bro has an account ... but shoutouts to Tershawn Wharton for saving the panthers from being sued out the ass. pic.twitter.com/Qlm7RtANtz
