Here is a summary of the key points about Brandon Aiyuk without
copying or pasting from the referenced article:
- Brandon Aiyuk is a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. He
was drafted by the 49ers 25th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Arizona
State.
- As a rookie in 2020, Aiyuk showed promise as he dealt with
inconsistent quarterback play. He finished the season with 60 receptions for
748 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns. His yards per reception average was 12.5.
- In 2021, Aiyuk took a step back statistically with just 56
receptions for 826 yards and 5 touchdowns. His yards per catch average
increased to 14.8 though. There was some criticism of his effort and route
running at times that season.
- In 2022, Aiyuk is looking to build off an impressive training
camp and preseason performance. The 49ers are hoping he can become a more
consistent playmaker and take pressure off Deebo Samuel in the passing game.
- At 25 years old, Aiyuk still has room to grow as he enters his
third NFL season. He has the athleticism and talent to be a top wide receiver
if he can put it all together. Much will depend on the play of quarterback Trey
Lance in his first full season as the starter.
- This season will be important for Aiyuk to prove he can lead the
49ers receiving corps and fulfill his potential that made him a first round
pick a few years ago.
