Wharton made two tackles on the field against the Panthers, but the two-time Super Bowl champion defensive lineman showed the hands and instincts of a wide receiver as he lunged forward and caught the falling child, preventing him from hitting the turf.
"Honestly it was natural reaction," Wharton said on the "Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday. "I kind of grabbed him right by the back of his back and kind of pushed him into the stands a little bit more."
Wharton's quick reaction helped the child avoid a head-first drop. He said in his interview with McAfee that he's looking to invite the young fan to a Chiefs game.
