Travis Kelce is advising a young Kansas City Chiefs fan who fell off an open barrier while he trying to reach out to the players to feign injury, take legal action against the Panthers, and immediately become rich.
A video that captured the moment showed the kid stretching his hand to meet Tershawn Wharton as they exited the game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, and in the process, fell off the stand through an opening from a missing railing.
Luckily, Wharton saved the day by catching the boy in mid-air.
Another look at the footage might suggest that the kid was trying to catch the gloves of Wharton which he was pulling out as he walked off the field after his side defeated the Panthers 30-27, and were coming to the stand to greet their fans.

Reacting to the viral video, Travis Kelce gave one piece of advice; blow the matter out of proportion, sue, and get rich quick!
Speaking with his brother Jason Kelce on the New Heights Podcast, Travis advised the kid to appear in school with a neck brace and sue the Panthers. “Get rich quick kid”, he capped.
Travis, who was also nearby when the fall happened said he felt bad about it and berated the person who cut the barrier, wondering what purpose the opening was for. He also praised Wharton for the great save. On the other hand, his brother, Jason Kelce, said the video made him laugh and thought that the Panthers are anti-kids.
Tershawn Wharton said the quick save was nothing but a natural reaction, and recalled hearing someone calling his name, removing his gloves before suddenly seeing the kid coming down.
He recalled two security guards who were standing nearby but were starstruck at the event and said he had to lift the boy to safety by himself. Still on the Pat McAfee Show, Wharton said he would want to meet the young Chiefs fan again and get him a free ticket to a game.
