San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has had a stellar 2023 season. The talent has always been there. Sometimes, the player themselves aren’t aware of the talent they possess.
Aiyuk recently appeared on Arik Armstead’s “Third and Long” podcast. Armstead called Aiyuk a star in the league. Armstead is from Sacramento. Aiyuk went to a Junior College called Sierra, which is in Rocklin, California, about 20-25 minutes from Sacramento.
The two discussed Aiyuk’s upbringing, how he was recruited by the University of Alabama. Aiyuk said 15 minutes after he signed the papers to commit to the Sun Devils, the Crimson Tide wanted Aiyuk to come play defensive back.
