From Brent (@Brent_32): Big fans of yours, keep up the great coverage. Do you believe Aiyuk will be ready for Week 1? And how big of an impact do you think he makes for the 49ers?
First of all, thanks for saying that, Brent. And yes, I do believe Brandon Aiyuk will be an impact player in Year 1 for the Niners. To start with, I believe strongly in Kyle Shanahan’s ability to evaluate receivers, and the Arizona State product was front of mind for the Niners’ coach in the weeks leading up to the draft.
