San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk hires new representation as part of his effort to return to the NFL, with multiple outlets reporting that he is working through steps to get back on the field. ESPN and several others specifically identify Drew Rosenhaus as the agent involved.

The reports provide context that Aiyuk has been away from NFL play for an extended period, including references to time since his last game and to prior injury. The Athletic adds that he has not had an agent for months, while Yahoo and Yardbarker frame the development as a push toward a realistic comeback. Yahoo also notes that 49ers retain control of his rights, a detail that helps explain the practical backdrop to any potential return.

Across outlets, the main differences are the depth of context and the emphasis on “next steps” versus the broader comeback objective. However, they largely agree on the core news: Aiyuk has hired an agent to pursue an NFL return.
