In an exclusive interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, 49ers legend John Taylor explained the advice he gave a young Brandon Aiyuk before the 2022 NFC title game.
The 49ers selection of wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the first round of this year's draft was a signal that changes are on the horizon for San Francisco's receiving corps. While it was expected by some that the 49ers would move one of Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk after the selection, they held onto both for at least one more season. Picking a 49ers receiver as a loser of the draft because of the team's first-round pick was the right choice by ESPN's Bill Barnwell in a piece he wrote detailing some winners and losers from the player selection process. Samuel is the player who should ultimately be strapped with that distinction.
Could the Steelers make a summer trade for Deebo Samuel?
