Expectations are high for Brandon Aiyuk. The San Francisco 49ers' second-year wide receiver hauled in 60 passes for 748 yards with five receiving touchdowns during his rookie campaign, adding two more scores on the ground.
NFL Media's Marc Sessler picked Aiyuk as the 49ers player most likely to earn his first Pro Bowl selection during the upcoming season. Last month, Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated named Aiyuk among 10 NFL players who could accomplish the same feat.
It looks like Aiyuk has his sights set on outdoing his rookie season. User @joshwa.porter on Instagram posted the following video of the 49ers receiver hauling in passes as he prepares for the training camp, which kicks off at the end of the month. Some of those catches looked impressive.

The 49ers were without two of the three YAC Bros. last season as injuries devastated the talented roster. All-Pro tight end George Kittle and versatile wideout Deebo Samuel missed a combined 17 games.
Having the trio together and healthy in 2021 will help the team rebound from its disappointing six-win season and create headaches for opposing defenses.
