Shanahan: I believe in Brandon Aiyuk

In his weekly segment on KNBR, 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan addressed WR Brandon Aiyuk and how his season has gone:

"I do think he's reaching strides. I do think he's getting better. You're very rarely going to hear me say that someone's just arrived and reached that level...Brandon had a real good rookie year.

"BA's got a lot of talent. He's made of the right stuff, I do believe in him and I believe he'll get back to where we need him to be."
