Brandon Aiyuk’s acrobatic catches have been the talk of the 49ers’ offense in training camp. His elevated level of play has been noticeable to observers, and free safety Jimmie Ward went so far as to say Aiyuk is having the best camp among all the 49ers.
Ward, 31, is entering his ninth season and he’s not one to mince words or dance around a subject. In a post-practice press conference Wednesday he was straightforward and effusive in his praise of the third-year wide receiver.
“Right now he’s having an outstanding camp,” Ward said. “I feel like he’s having the best camp out of everybody on the team, offense and defense.”
