Wanya Morris has soft hands. Who knew?

Morris, the 6-foot-6, 307-pound offensive lineman for the Chiefs showed off his catching ability during Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

On the opening drive of the second half, the Chiefs drove 70 yards in 13 plays for a touchdown. Few would have expected it coming into Sunday, but Morris scored the TD for the Chiefs.

It came on a 1-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to Morris.

Morris, who was selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, made an impact with his pass-catching skills, and who doesn’t love a big-man touchdown?

Fans were thrilled with the play, and Chiefs radio voice Mitch Holthus also was pumped up by the touchdown. Here is his call for 96.5 The Fan.
