While Trent Williams was walking to the locker room after getting ejected for punching rival Kansas City Chiefs player Bryan Cook, he made a shocking gesture to a young fan.
The San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman was tossed from the Super Bowl rematch late in the fourth quarter after retaliating after Cook hit his helmet while he was in a downed position.
Then Williams took it upon himself to throw a violent strike to the helmet of Cook.
Still, steps before going into the tunnel, Williams has the presence of mind to sign a young girl’s enlarged hat on the brim.
Other children surrounded Williams, but he did not se them or give them autographs as well.

Williams’ ejection is the least of the 49ers’ current problems, as the team sits at a disappointing 3-4 after the loss to the Chiefs.
San Francisco has lost its top-two receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel for the foreseeable future with different ailments.
Aiyuk tore his ACL and is out for the rest of the season, while Samuel is hospitalized with pneumonia and has no timetable to return.
The 49ers will have to claw their way back into the playoff picture with much less tools at their disposal than they have been used to over the last several years.
Double that with the Lions, Vikings, Packers, and Commanders all looking more impressive than San Francisco for long stretches this season.
Williams will not miss any future games because of his ejection on Sunday.
