It was his first time on the field for a game in almost 20 months, but Kansas City Chiefs third-year defensive lineman Mike Catapano wasn’t going to take anything for granted on Friday night.
“When I ran out of the fire and through the cheerleaders, just feeling the crowd out there, I literally ran in the end zone and got on one knee and broke a tear I was so happy,” Catapano explained.
“Just to be out there with my guys again.”
Catapano missed the entire 2014 preseason and regular season after dealing with a virus and also suffering a concussion, as the combination landed him on IR before he was able to contribute to the Chiefs defense.
