Brandon Aiyuk's girlfriend Rochelle sends defiant message as 49ers WR racks up 147 yards in Week 5 loss to Cardinals
Brandon Aiyuk dominated the entire offseason with his contract extension and trade request issue. However, even after signing a massive $120 million deal with the Niners, the wide receiver was slow to start. Now, with a dazzling performance in his last game, Aiyuk’s girlfriend Rochelle is standing up tall.
On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers faced off against the Arizona Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium. In a hard-fought game, the Cardinals eked out a 24-23 victory. However, the 26-year-old was at his best and his stats reflected it. The WR registered 8 catches for 147 yards.
This prompted his girlfriend to go on her TikTok and remind the fans that they must never count out Brandon Aiyuk.
“Say sorry right now. Say sorry right now. I’m just kidding but never switched up on 11. You know the deal. Just proud,” said Rochelle.
“When my man thrives, I live. 147 yards babe,” she captioned.
Aiyuk had been facing criticism for some time. Firstly, for the contract drama and then for his slow start as the season started. With this 100+ yard game under the bag, the second-team All-Pro has shut the critics down for the moment.
Rochelle poured her heart out for Brandon Aiyuk before the season started
The Niners held a Great Gatsby-themed party before the start of the season. Brandon Aiyuk had signed his new deal only days before this party. And his girlfriend Rochelle penned an emotional message for Aiyuk as she uploaded the pictures on her Instagram.
"The last 6 months have, unfortunately, probably taken some years off my life,” captioned Rochelle. “I’m just ready to have fun now. Congratulations to my FIANCÉE for all of his accomplishments! B, your dedication to your craft is inspiring. Mr. Go Getter.
“You are the most humble and genuine man. They don’t know you like I do boo. You deserve everything in this world and I am so proud of you. Here’s to year 5! 2018 us would be shocked to see how far we’ve come together.”
All her wishes for Aiyuk have come true, now the WR must build on his performance to take the team for another crack at the Super Bowl. The Niners will face the Seattle Seahawks next on October 10.
