Best of NFL News Part 2: Unc QUESTIONS if Kyler Murray knows how to STUDY his playbook after hearing STRUGGLES! + George Kittle CALLING OUT Brandon Aiyuk's MESS with 49ers + Unc SUGGEST Brendan Sorsby try CANADIAN football after NFL rejection

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:04)
Oh, Joe, we got some football. Now, George Kittle issues a warning for any team interested in signing Brandon Aiyuk. Last time I signed Aiyuk was, call it week six, seven or eight. I don't really know. I used to make it a habit of mine to go out early in the morning before meetings to watch him train because he always be out there early. And I watched him run over 22 miles an hour and stop on a dime. So he still got it, or at least that was a year, eight months ago, so I don't really know, but you guys have fun with that, I guess. You have fun with all that comes with it.
Ocho?

**Chad Johnson** (0:38)
Yes, sir.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:40)
He had another IG live something where he's supposed to go, yeah, commander.

**Chad Johnson** (0:45)
Right.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:46)
What are we supposed to do with this, Ocho?

**Chad Johnson** (0:48)
I don't know. I don't know. I think if anything, I doubt the commanders are talking to him. Right now, the 49ers still have his rights. So if anything, he's just throwing out hints on where he would like to go by saying, come on, commanders.
I mean, it's a tough situation. It's one that I understand how precious the game is, Unc. I understand how fast the game goes by. I understand also how fast the game will leave you behind.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:13)
Yes.

**Chad Johnson** (1:14)
And showing you that you are never bigger than the program. It's happened to some of the best. It happened to me. It happened to Antonio Brown. It happened to Randy Moss. It happened to Jerry Rice. It happens to all of us. So I think as these years go on, as these years pass by, I would hate for Brendan Aiyuk to look back and think about the time that he wasted playing the game when he had the leverage.
Right now, you had the leverage. It feels good. Yeah. I mean, it does right now, but it's gonna come a time.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:41)
You ain't gonna have to leverage it, You gonna be gone.

**Chad Johnson** (1:43)
Yeah. You gonna be gone. So right now, I want him to maximize the opportunity that he has right now and take advantage of that.
A young bull can play. He know he can play. And I would love to see him on the team healthy and contributing on someone's offense and doing what he does best. And that's run routes and get people hailed defensively.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:05)
I think the thing is this goes back to they didn't want to pay him. He ended up getting paid. He still harbors some of that.
Y'all didn't think I was worth the money that I was asking for. They reported the Steelers wanted to trade for him. They shot that down. 49ers dead. They end up eventually paying him.
Maybe he's not happy with the money that he got. Ocho, we always think we're worth more than what we get.

**Chad Johnson** (2:36)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:36)
Anyway, he got the money, he signed the contract. He was cool with that. Yeah. And then he gets injured.

**Chad Johnson** (2:45)
Yeah, tough.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:47)
If I was already hesitant to give you a chunk of change and then you get hurt within six, five months of me giving you that chunk of change, Ocho, I'm going to feel some type of way.
Yeah. You know what, Ocho, she's like, you know what, Ocho, if you don't marry me, I'm telling you what, you need to marry me. You apprehensive. You're like, ah, yeah. I mean, I like you and I really appreciate, you know, but, you say, you know what?

**Chad Johnson** (3:16)
It's always a big but.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:17)
Yes. But you say, you know what, you been here, you know, when I ain't really have a whole lot, we're going to accomplish some stuff together, I'm going to put a ring on it. You put the ring on it.

**Chad Johnson** (3:31)
Yes, sir.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:32)
Then you get a call. Hey, Ocho man.

**Chad Johnson** (3:35)
Uh-oh.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:36)
You still with old girl? Uh-oh.

**Chad Johnson** (3:40)
Yeah, yeah. Hey, this where your heart drop when you get that call like that, bro. Yeah, yeah. Hey, the heart drop?

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:47)
I saw her ducked up in the cut.

**Chad Johnson** (3:50)
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:58)
You already didn't want to give it a read. Now you say, you know what I do damn well, I shouldn't have gave it a damn read.
