Kendrick Bourne says Brandon Aiyuk part of the reason why the 49ers will return to the Super Bowl

The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for their "Legendary Revenge Tour," and rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be part of the show. In fact, fourth-year wideout Kendrick Bourne believes Aiyuk will be a big reason why the 49ers will make their second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Hopefully, this time, key offseason moves will be enough to lift the team to a victory in the big game.

San Jose-area photographer Pierre Whitsey snapped some fantastic photos of Bourne working out with others at San Jose State on Tuesday, according to the date on the gallery. Aiyuk was among the group, and some of those photos showed Bourne talking to the rookie, perhaps offering up some pointers as he transitions from the college game to the pros.


Bourne took notice of the photos and responded with this.


Members of this year's rookie class may be having a more difficult time acclimating to their NFL playbooks, so every bit of advice and help is probably welcome. The COVID-19 pandemic, which shows no signs of diminishing, has prevented players from gathering in an official capacity this offseason. They aren't even allowed to enter team facilities.

Offseason programs have been conducted virtually via Zoom conference calls with the physical components of the offseason left in the hands of the players to do on their own.

Whitsey also posted the following photos on Twitter. All of his pictures from Tuesday's workout at San Jose State can be found here, and there are a lot.
