I'm tempering my expectations for him this year. No mini-camps, no preseason games, and essentially half the usual TC practices is going to make it hard on rookies this year. Even in a normal off-season it can take rookie WRs awhile to get a hang of things. Deebo arguably had our best rookie season for a WR since Rice and even then he wasn't much of a factor until about halfway through the season.

More reason to bring in AB

AB hasn't played for Shanny.

It's going to be tough, but he has the tools to do it.

Not crazy to think that at all. Kyle traded up in the 1st round to get him and is on record saying he was his favorite WR that he would've taken at 13 in a deep WR class that had Lamb and Jeudy there for the taking at 14. He also said he'd give him every opportunity to shine. All this also tells me that he will make an effort to prove himself right about Aiyuk more so than Deebo who was a 2nd round pick, although we did take him over DK and Brown

I think he will definitely score more receiving touchdowns

If he can be as good as DeeBo last year, we have a good shot at a first regular seaon half of an 8-0 record, hope hope!

He caught a long touchdown today against Jason Verrett, looks like he's going to be very good for us.

Pads don't come on until tomorrow, but it's clear Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk already have rapport.

Several completions between the two at practice today, including a bomb from Garoppolo that hit Aiyuk in stride for a TD in 7-on-7s. Aesthetically pleasing
