Brandon Aiyuk Wants To "Maximize" Role
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is hoping to have the best season of his career. "Everyone has personal goals that they want. But I know that comes alongside with everything we want to do as a team. I'm trying to really maximize my spot, my role I have in this offense, and let it take it where it's at," said the 24-year-old during a recent interview. Throughout Aiyuk's two years in the league, he's compiled 1,574 yards and 10 touchdowns off 116 catches. He also displayed his talent on the run, adding two more rushing scores during his rookie campaign. With Deebo Samuel potentially still on the move, Aiyuk has the potential to take over as the No. 1 wideout on the roster. Yet, even if Samuel remains in the Bay Area, he is looking to be cast exclusively as a wideout, meaning Aiyuk may get more chances to find the end zone under Kyle Shanahan's run-friendly offense.
