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.
