The Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup got off to a heartwarming start on Thursday evening when wide receiver Justin Watson was seen giving a young fan his gloves ahead of the team’s kickoff against the Detroit Lions.

Watson, who has been with the Chiefs since last season, is among the most consistent receivers that Kansas City hosts. His blend of athleticism and finesse has provided Patrick Mahomes with a valuable asset in the passing game, and he is sure to make an impact against the Lions when he takes the field.
The Chiefs will be without star pass-catcher Travis Kelce in this game, so contributions from players like Watson will be critical to Kansas City’s offensive success in this Week 1 tilt.
Expect Watson to get involved early as Patrick Mahomes looks to spread the ball around to find the hot hand in the passing game and dissect Detroit’s talented secondary.
