Washington legend calls out Brandon Aiyuk
Article excerpt
One Washington legend has seen enough of Brandon Aiyuk's antics.
Brian Mitchell called out Brandon Aiyuk on Tuesday.
The former Washington Redskins running back and return specialist has had enough of the San Francisco 49ers receiver's act. Aiyuk has been talking to the 49ers on social media, and most recently, he posted, basically, rooting for the Commanders.
Aiyik has continued his passive-aggressive act, repeatedly talking trash to the 49ers on his Instagram account. He has continued to be passive-aggressive when he could have simply shown up in person and talked with the 49ers man-to-man.
On Tuesday, while Mitchell and co-host JP Finlay, on "BMitch & Finlay" of 106.7 The Fan, were discussing the Aiyuk situation. Finlay was attempting to show that both the 49ers coaching staff (Kyle Shanahan in particular) and Aiyuk were at fault for the severed relationship.
Mitchell interjected, "What he (Aiyuk) is doing is annoying to me. Rooting for the team (Commanders) while they are not doing anything? The thing of it is, go show up, deal with whatever you got to deal with, the speeding stuff, and get the hell out of there."
Mitchell was calling out Aiyuk to get into the 49ers facility and talk with John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan. Mitchell continued, "If you don't show up, they (49ers) can string this thing along, man. That's all I'm saying. Listen, he says he can still run. You say you are still physically there? I wanna start seeing that."
Mitchell put forth the challenge to Aiyuk, "If you're going to be here, I wanna see you practicing with this team, getting ready to play. I don't want to see little videos, little clips, sayings. I don't care about all of that. I care about you putting the work in to become a player and an asset to this squad. That's what I care about."
Mitchell is correct. Aiyuk is annoying; he is passive-aggressive. He needs to show up, be mature, and be ready to report to the 49ers. Be a professional, face the 49ers.
