Did a film study on Aiyuk
Here’s my take away:
He ran a 4.5/40 but plays much faster than that
He’s 5’11 & 1/2 & 205 lbs but plays much weaker than that
For his size he is incredibly quick off the line. His first step is lightning fast and he picks up speed equally well.

His speed translates into an excellent YAC specialist. He is extremely adept at getting skinny on would be defenders. His YAC are made solely on speed and agility though. Not grit and strength.
He hand fights well off the line. Swim move is excellent too.

Press coverage is tough for him though if the defender gets in on him... Aggression problems.
His route running is good even though I hear he has a limited route tree. Here’s a video of a good route of his. He didn’t sell the route as well as I would have liked but it ended in a TD. Good not great.
One MAJOR flaw in his game is blocking. He is soft as hell when it comes to going hands on, as mentioned earlier. He takes plays off, misses key blocks and doesn’t seek out contact.
Aiyuk has the makings of a good WR in the NFL. His field stretching ability mixed with his YAC strength makes him dangerous in deep balls and screens alike... But he’s not a dog. He doesn’t have grit. And I don’t like that one bit.
