Chiefs' Tershawn Wharton Saves Falling Child After Game

The defensive tackle's quick reflexes prevented a young fan from a dangerous fall at Bank of America Stadium.

Tershawn Wharton, a Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle, caught a child who fell headfirst from a 10-foot elevated stand after a game against the Carolina Panthers on November 24.
The incident occurred as fans leaned over the railing to interact with players; the child lost his balance and fell toward the ground.
Wharton described his action as a 'natural reaction,' stating he lunged forward to grab the child by the back and guided him safely back into the stands.
Video footage of the incident, widely shared on social media, has garnered praise for Wharton's quick thinking and lifesaving intervention.
Wharton expressed his desire to reconnect with the young fan and invite him to a future Chiefs game to reflect on the experience together.
