No. 1: SF 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk

If you saw a UFO flying through the sky, don’t fret. It was just SF 49ers rookie receiver Brandon Aiyuk landing back at Levi’s Stadium.

If you missed it, take a moment to watch:

The 25th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is showing the Niners why he was worth taking over some of the other highly touted options. As long as he can stay healthy over the course of the season, he should start to see his reps go up. Plus, with Deebo Samuel back in the fold, there’s no limit to what Aiyuk can do.

He’s now scored a rushing touchdown in back-to-back games. He finished the evening with one run for a 38-yard score and two catches for 18 yards.
