Ever since the San Francisco 49ers lost in the Super Bowl to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the immediate future of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been up in the air, as there has been talk of the team potentially trading him elsewhere.
San Francisco still hasn’t reached an agreement with wide receiver Aiyuk, despite 49ers general manager John Lynch’s insistence that the organization wants to sign him to a contract extension. It seems the outspoken wide receiver is a little bit fueling rumors that he might be moving.
Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team claims that Aiyuk recently tweeted that people believe he and head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers are twins.
Here are some fan reactions to Aiyuk tweeting at Tomlin:
Obviously, that’s a weird tweet to say out of nowhere, especially with an uncertain situation unfolding in San Francisco, but it didn’t stop fans from reacting and speculating that he could be on his way to Pittsburgh to play for the longtime head coach.
With the Steelers needing some help in the wide receiver department after recently parting ways with Diontae Johnson in a trade to the Carolina Panthers, Aiyuk would be an ideal addition to the squad, especially now that the team has some more stability at quarterback with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
It’ll be interesting to see how things unfold for Aiyuk and whether he ends up landing in Pittsburgh or stays put in San Francisco.
