It’s been multiple generations now since a 49ers wide receiver made a catch as momentous as the one John Taylor did in 1988 to win the Super Bowl.
Brandon Aiyuk’s sensational catch in the NFC title game this past January was pretty close, though. Now, as Aiyuk’s long contract dispute stretches into the second week of training camp, Taylor sees plays like Aiyuk’s as a clear mandate to the San Francisco front office.
“Pay the man what he’s worth, that’s my assessment,” Taylor told SFGATE on Monday.
