'Tis the season for giving, and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle made one young fan very happy before Thursday night's game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
"While waiting for San Fransisco's matchup with the Titans to kick off on Thursday, a young boy—who recently turned eight years old on Dec. 5—wanted nothing more than to meet the three-time Pro Bowler," reported Wilton Jackson of Sports Illustrated. "Kittle, who was jogging the down the sideline pregame, not only stopped to meet the young 49ers fan but gave him a pair of his gloves."
His reaction is heartwarming.

Kittle entered Thursday night's game needing just 14 receiving yards to pass Roger Craig for 10th on the 49ers' all-time list. He got that early in the game.
And there it is. Kittle now 10th all-time for the #49ers in receiving yards. Next up: Freddie Solomon at nine. #49wz https://t.co/Lbmj4RiTUz
