“Debo and I talk all the time and he’s like one of my best friends on this team. I just love Debo and everything he does for me and help me,” the quarterback said Tuesday.

“I think he’s right. He’s doing a good job offensively right now and what we’re asking of him. And he’s not struggling or anything. It’s just, like I said before, a guy like Rickey [Pearsall] Or spent some time with Aiyuk last year. I think throughout the season, there are times when guys just don’t get the ball, depending on the playbook or the defensive playbook, and then they take guys away. So, I want Debo to get the ball every play if I can. I want him to break every record possible. I want Deebo to do Deebo things that we all do in this building. So, that’s how the game goes. But I love my player and I’m going to do whatever I can to get the ball to him.
