49ers' Brandon Aiyuk Reflects on Missed Touchdown and Contract Drama

Aiyuk's Week 1 performance against the Jets was marred by a dropped touchdown, following a last-minute contract extension that nearly saw him traded.

Brandon Aiyuk admitted he was 'scared' to watch the film of his Week 1 performance against the New York Jets, where he dropped a potential touchdown pass.
The wide receiver signed a four-year, $120 million extension just 12 days before the season opener, after contentious negotiations nearly led to a trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan had to sprint to stop the trade when Aiyuk unexpectedly showed up to discuss his contract.
Aiyuk's performance included two catches for 28 yards, but his drop in the end zone drew criticism from Peyton Manning on ESPN's 'ManningCast.'
Despite the rough start, Aiyuk is expected to improve as he gets more repetitions and adjusts to the season's demands.
