WATCH: Chiefs WR Justyn Ross breaks tackle after making his first catch

Justyn Ross broke a tackle after making his first catch in the #Chiefs’ preseason tilt against the #Saints on Sunday.

Justyn Ross season has officially begun for the Kansas City Chiefs after he made his first preseason catch against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. He grabbed a quick pass from Shane Buechele on Kansas City’s opening drive in the third quarter and broke a tackle before he was corralled after a short sideline scamper.

Ross’ highly anticipated debut was a bit underwhelming before this catch, but with plenty of game left to play, fans should expect that the second-year receiver will be more involved later in the matchup.

The hype behind the promising pass catcher reached a fever pitch in training camp, where he seemed to make highlight reel plays in nearly every practice session he participated in. Ross missed his entire rookie season after recovering from an injury he sustained as a collegian at Clemson, so this play is a good indication that he is back to full health.

WHOLESOME INTERNET CONTENT ALERT

Making your first catch doing anything related to sports is a legitimate benchmark moment of any childhood.

For months, maybe even years, you’ve been getting pulverized by a baseball. Or maybe even a football. Potentially a basketball, too.

Everyone keeps telling you to keep your eyes on the ball, but as far as you can tell, you are already. What does that even mean, anyway? You don’t know. You just want to know what it feels like to cleanly catch a sports ball in glove or in hand.

When you do it? Man, your whole world changes. You can see that moment for this kid here. He was working on catching a baseball with his dad and he finally got it. They caught it on camera.

The joy here from both the boy and his dad are priceless.

This. Is. The. Best. And it’s the most wholesome internet content ever.

Shouts to this kid and his pops. Keep making those catches, my guy.
