Wharton noted that there were two security guards but they were looking at them as they didn’t realize what was going on.
“But I just had to kind of like push him into the stands a little bit to make sure he didn’t hit too hard,” he shared.
The defense tackle added that he grabbed the boy by the back to prevent him from falling.
Wharton mentioned that he hasn’t had the opportunity to reconnect with the boy but expressed his desire to invite him to a game and share the experience.
Wharton, now in his fifth season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, has been a consistent presence on the team since joining the NFL.
Originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2020, he has proven his value on the field, showcasing determination and resilience throughout his career.
In the game before the incident occurred, the Chiefs edged out the Carolina Panthers in a nail-biting 30-27 victory.
The thrilling matchup highlighted the Chiefs’ resilience as they secured their 10th consecutive season with double-digit wins, a remarkable feat in the Super Bowl era.
