George Kittle got the best 2-in-1 birthday present on Sunday.
While the 49ers tight end was warming up before their Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium, a young fan gifted Kittle a little bit of good fortune.
“A 6-year-old in the stands gave me a lucky penny pregame and said, ‘You’re going to win today,’ and I said ‘It’s almost a guarantee!’” Kittle shared with reporters in the locker room after San Francisco’s 37-15 win over the Panthers. “Gotta love it.”

Kittle, who missed the first two games of the season with a groin injury, hopefully can take his lucky penny with him all throughout the season and beyond.
Although literally equal to one cent, the moment for Kittle truly was priceless.
