Brandon Aiyuk | Why he is a Top 5 Wide Receiver in the NFL, Brock Purdy and Turning Down Alabama

My guy Brandon Aiyuk joins me on this week’s episode. He has had a crazy journey to the league from grinding his way through JUCO to taking off at Arizona State. Why did he turn down an offer from Nick Saban and Alabama and decide to stick with ASU? Who does he think are the top Wide Receivers in the NFL and why does he deserve to be in the top 5 conversation? This guy has had an immediate impact since he joined the 49ers so we discuss his relationship with Brock Purdy and what his mindset is when he takes the field? We also break down some plays together and talk about when he first realized he could compete in the NFL at a high level.
