The 49ers moved up six spots to No. 25 overall to select Aiyuk in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Arizona State University, where he averaged 18.3 yards per reception in his final year with the Sun Devils -- with a good chunk of those yards coming after the catch.

During the NFL Scouting Combine, Aiyuk ranked in the 90th percentile in the broad and vertical jump, as well as the 10-yard split. He also ran his 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds. His 81-inch wingspan (at 5-foot-11) was the largest for anyone of his height in combine history, and was comparable to that of former All-Pro wide receiver Calvin Johnson.

Needless to say, he’s going to be a fantastic addition to the 49ers offense.
