Dante Pettis was the latest San Francisco 49ers player to be mic'd up during practice. Players are currently enjoying some time off before reconvening in Santa Clara for training camp in late-July, but the team released the video below featuring the second-year wide receiver during last week's minicamp.
Note: While the tweet below states that the video is from organized team activities, the team's official YouTube page states that it is from minicamp. More specifically, it indicates that the video is from the June 12 practice, which closed out the minicamp and the offseason program with a Jimmy Garoppolo to Pettis touchdown, as shown in the video.
Pettis can be seen going through individual and team drills as well as heard interacting with his teammates, including asking fellow receivers Jordan Matthews and Marquise Goodwin if they would prefer a fork or spoon should they only be allowed to use one for the rest of their lives.
Both, by the way, picked a spoon because you can't eat cereal with a fork.
"Why does everyone like spoons so much?" a baffled Pettis asked. "You can't eat pasta with a spoon. How are you going to eat steak? No chicken."
The video also features Pettis working with the 49ers' new receivers coach, Wes Welker.

Kyle Juszczyk, by the way, agreed with Pettis on the fork versus spoon debate. You know — in case you were wondering.

Brandon Aiyuk's agent denies report of Steelers 'aggressively pursuing' the 49ers receiver
On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.
REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…
Trent Taylor snatches up 49ers star receiver's old number
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
The 49ers' official team site has listed the jersey numbers for several of the team's free-agent newcomers below. Of course, these could change as
ESPN analyst weighs in on 49ers potentially drafting a wide receiver
The San Francisco 49ers will likely add a rookie wide receiver via the draft, and it has nothing to do with Brandon Aiyuk's current contract situation. Deebo Samuel is about as physical a player as you'll find at the position, so wear and tear, along with his significant salary, has to be a concern. Jauan Jennings is slated to become an unrestricted free agent next year.
The 49ers have tried to address the position recently, drafting Ronnie Bell in the seventh round last year and Danny Gray in the third round in 2022. While it's too early to judge Bell, Gray has played only 87 offensive snaps as a pro. His career stat line is unimpressive, recording only one reception for 10 yards on seven targets.
One ESPN analyst and 49ers fan, Matt Miller, admits to being
If the 49ers draft a wide receiver, don't expect it to be a smaller guy
The San Francisco 49ers are in good shape for 2024 when it comes to the wide receiver position. What that room looks like after this coming season remains to be seen. Most believe the 49ers will give Brandon Aiyuk a new contract around the start of training camp. But there are no guarantees. As it was reported on Friday, Aiyuk unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram, much like Deebo Samuel did two years ago.
It seems to be how modern-day players negotiate. It's not necessarily anything to be concerned about, but you never truly know how these things will end. There is still potential that the 49ers could trade the star receiver in the next couple of weeks.
If Aiyuk is extended, it
