He'll be a star under Kyle. Good times ahead

Just like Pettis lol.

Or just like Deebo and Kittle?

Bigger than CD Lamb's and Jerry Jeudy's, both taller WRs. 9 3/4" is nothing to frown at.

Dude has no problem at all with the grips....I'm going to qualify a shade under 10 as gigantic.

Yup guy is a beast

Ok. Now we are lying.

He's not 6'. He didn't run a 4.4.

That doesn't mean he can't produce.

Did we meet him in person?

He is 5'11 and 5/8's. So a hair under 6 feet.

And he ran 4.5 with a groin injury, same one that kept him out of the Senior Bowl. He has since had surgery to take care of that.

Ok. Maybe that explains the disconnect between his yak numbers and the measurables. I am still hesitant aboit his height. Look at the field level 360 clips and pause. He looks pretty small.

Anyway I can see why kyle is excited and also why he was wr7 wr8 on many boards. If hes gonna play the slot more than 20% he better start looking like edelman or he will get hurt pretty fast.

So did Deebo - initially.

You know what they say about guys with big hands. They catch the ball well.

Looks like he'll be wearing #11

Aiyuk's 10 yard split in the 40 was 1.57s. 93rd percentile. I think 4.5 is about right. He might run a 4.45, but he is not a 4.3 guy. You don't see him absolutely destroying guys in a free run to the goal line. Seen a few times where guys were close to catching him or at least staying with him. But he has a quick burst that gets him by people from the get go, and he is fast enough not to be able to catch.
