A young NFL fan humorously tried to make off with Jimmy Garoppolo’s helmet on Friday.

The San Francisco 49ers shared a video on Twitter that showed Garoppolo approaching the sidelines of a practice field to sign an autograph. Garoppolo was carrying his helmet and gave it to the youngster to hold while he signed the fan’s hat. The young fan seemed to think the helmet had been given to him, leaving Garoppolo having to ask for it back.

This isn’t the first humorous autograph exchange we’ve shared here. Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a fun solution for a Miami Dolphins fan seeking his signature.

Garoppolo’s 49ers are having joint practices with the Broncos in Colorado ahead of their preseason game on Monday night, which explains the fans wearing Broncos gear.
