Hearing the comments earlier Monday, I didn’t plan on writing about it. There had been enough said about the Pittsburgh Steelers odds of landing Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel. And once the draft passed with neither being dealt, any idea of a trade materializing seemed faint. But on the heels of Bryant McFadden’s tease of the Steelers close to adding an “explosive playmaker,” speculation of Aiyuk and Samuel kicked back up.
Which makes what ESPN’s Adam Schefter said relevant after all. Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show earlier today, Schefter believes the 49ers will hold onto both their top receivers in Aiyuk and Samuel.
