George Kittle, a 49ers All-Pro tight end, has spoken about his relationship with Brandon Aiyuk, who stopped showing up to the team facilities mid-season. Kittle expressed his surprise at the situation, stating he has no idea what is going on with Aizuk. The two had a long-standing relationship, continuing to support each other even after he stopped attending the team facility. The relationship soured between AiyUK and 49ers management, leading to coach Kyle Shanahan stating he hadn't seen Aiyuko in "months". Kittle also mentioned that Aizayuk reached out after Kittle's Achilles injury and hasn't seen him since.
