49ers rookie Brandon Aiyuk reaches 'soft 21 mph' running on treadmill

Every year at the NFL Scouting Combine, all eyes are on the 40-yard dash. Sometimes, though, numbers do lie.

Brandon Aiyuk, who the 49ers took with the No. 25 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, ran a 4.50 40, but in reality, he likely is even faster. The former Arizona State receiver was coming off a core-muscle injury that surely hurt his time.

How fast is the rookie? Well, he ran a "soft 21 mph" in a recent workout video.

#49ers 1st round draft pick @THE2ERA got up to 21 MPH during treadmill training, per his workout video.
