After a slow-ish start to his pro career, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk scored his first NFL touchdown against the New York Giants — just not necessarily in the way he might've expected.
Aiyuk, a first-round draft pick from Arizona State, got on the board in the third quarter thanks to a 19-yard, end-around run rather than a big-time catch.
