A defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs showed some pretty impressive hands Sunday.

After the Chiefs defeated the Carolina Panthers, defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton saved a young fan after he fell head-first out of the stands at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Wharton caught the boy and handed him back to his family, saying later that it was an instinctive reaction and that he hopes to meet the young fan and his family soon.
