I'm going to post this again, because it's a 49ers insider making this same point:
Quote:
Matt Barrows, from The Athletic, recently shared his insights on the topic during an interview with Bay Area radio station KNBR.
"If it came down to Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk, I think they go with Brandon Aiyuk because he's on the same page as Brock Purdy," Barrows said. "We saw that chemistry all year long. They seemed perfect for each other. They seem made for each other, whereas Deebo Samuel had some absolutely terrific games this season but didn't seem to have the same passing chemistry. A lot of his yards were short passes that he creates yards after the catch"

There's a reason the most recent smoke is about them trading Deebo to keep Aiyuk.
