Rookies First Media Day
The 49ers first round picks, Javon Kinlaw and Brandon Aiyuk, showed off their new jerseys during a socially-distanced media day this weekend. The 49ers full roster reported for the start of training camp on Saturday, and the team's social media accounts shared a first look of the rookies in their new uniforms.
Kinlaw was drafted by the 49ers with the 14th-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The defensive lineman appeared in 37 games (34 starts) in three seasons at South Carolina and registered 93 tackles, 18.0 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and four fumble returns. As a senior, Kinlaw was named Associated Press First-Team All-America, starting all 12 games in which he appeared and registering 35 tackles, 6.0 sacks and two forced fumbles.
The 49ers traded up to select Aiyuk with the 25th-overall pick. The wideout appeared in 25 games in two seasons at Arizona State and registered 98 receptions for 1,666 yards and 11 touchdowns. Aiyuk also recorded 28 kick returns for 760 yards (27.1 average) and 25 punt returns for 293 yards (11.7 average) and 1 touchdown. As a senior in 2019, the receiver earned Third-Team All-America honors.
