All throughout the summer, San Francisco 49ers star Brandon Aiyuk welcomed the NFL media world’s attention on his lengthy contract dispute — and seemed to rather enjoy it.
After he finally signed the massive deal he was seeking, though, Aiyuk is back in the spotlight again. And it looks like it's a lot less fun now.
In the 49ers' first two games of the season, Aiyuk has been dreadfully underwhelming. On Sunday, in a 23-17 loss to the Vikings, the $120 million man was nearly invisible for a large stretch of the game, even though he was on the field for most of it.
