A Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman caught a child who fell out of the stands at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The scary scene happened following a 30-27 Chiefs win against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday as the Chiefs were walking off the field.<\/p>\n

While Chiefs players like Carson Steele and Travis Kelce were making their way into the players’ tunnel, several young fans were leaning over the railing trying to get their attention.<\/p>\n

However, one young fan in a Nick Bolton jersey was being held back by a security guard who was wearing a “Bank of America Stadium” jacket. When the security guard turned away, the young fan, likely around 10-12 years old, fell head-first through a gap in the railing toward the ground and other equipment.<\/p>\n

It was at that point that defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton saw the child falling and lunged forward to prevent him from landing on his head after the approximate 10-foot fall.<\/p>\n

“Go back to your seats!” the security guard yelled as the child was being helped up. “Everybody go back to your seats, this kid just fell!”<\/p>\n

As the security guard once again had his back turned, the boy was helped back into the stands by Wharton while fans yelled to the security personnel to help him.<\/p>\n

‘I kinda grabbed him right by the back.’<\/p>\n

Wharton offered his perspective of the incident the following Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show.”<\/p>\n

In a clip uploaded to X, McAfee asked the defensive tackle what, if anything, he was thinking at the time of the ordeal.<\/p>\n

“Did you not think? Was it just natural reaction?” the host began.<\/p>\n

“Well, I’d say it was natural reaction,” Wharton replied. “Usually, when I leave a game [I] try to throw my gloves in the crowd. And I think I heard my name a little bit. And when I heard my name, I seen [the boy] coming down.”<\/p>\n

It was apparently a bad day for security at the stadium, as Wharton then pointed out there were more guards who didn’t seem to realize what he was doing.<\/p>\n

“They were looking at us. But, I just had to kinda, like, push [the boy] into the stands a little bit to make sure he didn’t hit too hard.”<\/p>\n

Host McAfee then comically asked the player what kind of catch he made when rescuing the child.<\/p>\n

“So what was it? Was it a one-handed grab, snag of what, like, his shirt, his shoulder? How did you go about it, honestly?”<\/p>\n

“I kinda grabbed him right by the back,” Wharton explained, grabbing the back of his own shirt, near the collar.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old added that he guided the child toward the stands on the ground level to make sure he didn’t hit floor.<\/p>\n

Wharton said he is now hoping to find the unidentified child and have him attend another Chiefs game.<\/p>\n

“I would like to reach out to him, get him out to the game, and, you know, get [to] be able to reflect with him a little bit more if I could.”<\/p>\n
