George Kittle truly is a man of the people.

As the 49ers star tight end prepares for his fourth annual Tight End University, the camp's Instagram account shared a video of a heartwarming moment between Kittle and a young attendee.

"I'm so happy to be standing beside you right now," the young fan said. "I'm happy."

The two exchanged a fist bump as Kittle responded.

"I'm happy too, man," Kittle said. "Thanks for hanging out with us. You're doing a great job."

The two-time All-Pro co-founded Tight End University, a three-day tight-ends-only camp, with Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce.
