I like Ayuik a lot but it looks like he's positioning himself to make those crazy catches, I'd rather see him practicing catching properly than show off and be fancy

That's a ridiculous comment. Of course he's practicing catching normally, but which are you going to put online?!

Every single player in the off-season works out at a ridiculous level, we just think that if it isn't on social media it didn't happen!

This guy is so good. Sort of a weird highlight package as there is no audio.

I spoke to my friends who are Pats, Eagles, Jets fans etc and the cat is out of the bag on Aiyuk. Fans of other teams are well aware of him. I think some drafts he might go early by someone that did a little research

I am not a fantasy guy, but would definitely draft our skill position guys and start them whenever they play poor tackling teams. Or against the Rams.

His 1st year was impressive, rookie at WR + covid year + rotating QBs .

Plus missing 4 games. He was on an absolute tear the last 6 or so games. Just as good as Jefferson WITHOUT: 1) a wr like Thielen to take the opposition's best cb
2) a rb like Cook
3) a healthy qb like cousins throwing him the ball (jimmy was a gimp whenever Aiyuk was in

Aiyuk is going to be a top 10 wr, especially if our qb has good pass protection, a healthy rb(s) and running game, George Kittle to open up plays for him and Deebo Samuel to take up some coverage. A lot to look forward to boys

Yuk isn't Deebo drops are not one of his things. He was praised for his hands during the draft process as well.

... YUCK is just a better overall WR than Deebo..

Brandon is more the natural wide receiver, if we are using historical analysis of wide receivers. I think he has a much better natural skill set towards wide receiver.

deebo is more of a bruiser and used in a hybrid role cause of that. He plays a lot like Anquan Boldin, but obviously he isn't on that level, hopefully he will.

Brandon should become a much better overall wide receiver and have a longer career than deebo.

ALL THAT... and the fact that he's more of a natural pass catcher than Deevah Chubs !!

Reincarnation of John Taylor. I see a lot of Taylor in his highlights.

He really gives the QB a safe window to hit, just has a knack for getting open

So many people still underrate Aiyuk because they don't realize how many games he missed last year or how many missed opportunities he had due to bad throws/QB play.

Can't wait to see him and Lance clicking on all cylinders. Hopefully it happens sooner rather than later.

I buy a new game jersey to wear to home games prior to each season. Typically I try to get one of the young guys who looks like he is about to take his game to the next level. Aiyuk it is this year! I have a very good feeling about him.
