By now, it’s been well reported that San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan got into a pretty serious car crash about two weeks ago.
On Tuesday, more details emerged that the accident was Shanahan’s fault, and on Monday, reports surfaced that Kyle Shanahan could have lost an eye in the car crash. He already broke his nose, a few ribs, and a finger.
Well, in a new development, 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been called out for a classless Instagram post regarding the crash. There is an obvious rift between Aiyuk and the 49ers organization, but for him to take shots at Shanahan is pretty immature.
But after this offseason, who is surprised?

Per Brandon Aiyuk’s Instagram page, he recently posted a story with a black screen background that reads:
“You can’t win the race if you crash out”
And then a second story reads: “Keep yo head up and stay in yo lane, you gone win”
The reports today indicated that Kyle Shanahan was searching for his phone in his car, which caused him to get distracted from the road and swerve into the oncoming lane.
NFL Reporter Ari Meirov then made the following post (via X):
“Brandon Aiyukâs latest IG stories appear to be classless shots at Kyle Shanahan.”
Just totally classless from Brandon Aiyuk, who has been very vocal about wanting off the 49ers.

Brandon Aiyuk’s Recent Controversy Completely Unwarranted

Understandably, Brandon Aiyuk does not want to play for the 49ers anymore, but does he realize he truly isn’t doing himself any type of service with posts like these? The chances are, other NFL teams will see his IG stories and immediately be appalled by his decision to make this post. It’s completely classless and unwarranted.
Brandon Aiyuk has not played an NFL game since 2024, and not only is there a very small chance that another team will take a chance on him, but the chances are near 100% that he’s played his last down with San Francisco.
Of course, free will is a real thing here in America, but someone needs to start checking Aiyuk before he makes these controversial posts.
