In his fourth NFL season, 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is continuing a strong 2023 campaign.
Aiyuk is coming off the best season of his career and has been a pivotal piece to the 49ers’ success this season, but it wasn’t until recently that he became fully aware of his NFL potential.
In a recent “Third and Long” podcast appearance with 49ers teammate Arik Armstead, Aiyuk was asked when he realized he could be among the best receivers in all of football.
“Realistically, probably the end of last year,” Aiyuk said. “Fully, affirmatively, this last training camp. It’s different. You can come into the league and make plays here and there, but everybody knows when it’s for real, for real, not just spurts here and there. So probably training camp this year and heading into this season.
“And now I feel like if you ask me, I feel like for sure I’m one of them.”
