Brandon Aiyuk gets pulled over for allegedly driving stolen Jeep Trackhawk

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's excitement over his new Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was shortlived. Just minutes after he received the high-performance SUV, he had a run-in with law enforcement, who suspected the vehicle was stolen.

Aiyuk shared the incident in a YouTube vlog on Feb. 11. He said he only managed to drive two miles before being pulled over.

"Brand new trackhawk. Bro, I got the Trackhawk at 53 miles. I got pulled over at 55 miles," said Aiyuk in his Youtube Vlog. "I'm waiting all day to get this off the truck ... You know I'm about to spin, I'm about to hear the engine."

The officer's suspicion stemmed from recent thefts of similar vehicles:

"You're rolling around in brand new dodges, which are commonly stolen," the officer told Aiyuk.

"Nothing says that they're stolen. Nothing says that I'm stealing cars," the receiver responded.

During the traffic stop, the officer said he was unfamiliar with Aiyuk's NFL status:

"I don't know that, I don't know you, I don't watch football."

The traffic stop concluded without incident after verification of ownership.

The 49ers' receiving corps faces significant changes heading into 2025. According to the SF Standard, Deebo Samuel requested a trade during his exit interview.

Aiyuk, meanwhile, is rehabilitating from a serious knee injury. He tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus against the Kansas City Chiefs in October 2024. Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated reported that Aiyuk will miss the entire offseason program. He could return midway through the 2025 season.

With Samuel and Aiyuk missing chunks of the 2024 season due to injury, the 49ers offense struggled. They ranked last in average separation against man coverage in 2024, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
