A video showing Brandon Aiyuk flying in his Cadillac at speeds of over 100 mph wasn\u2019t the only piece of evidence authorities say they leaned on to obtain an arrest warrant for the 49ers star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lt. Eric Lagergren, a spokesperson for the Santa Clara Police Department, told The California Post that officers actually poured over the wide receiver\u2019s entire YouTube page to make their determination that Aiyuk had committed a crime.<\/p>\n

Lagergren explained in a statement to The Post on Wednesday evening that after Aiyuk shared footage to his YouTube page of him going 104 mph in the 40 mph zone near Levi\u2019s Stadium on Dec. 20, SCPD officers \u201cexamined the video\u201d as well as \u201cothers linked to the social media account.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSCPD analyzed the video and determined a vehicle similar to one in the in the video was owned by Aiyuk,\u201d Lagergren said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter completing a detailed investigation, the case was submitted to the Santa Clara County District Attorney\u2019s Office on January 15, 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Court records, obtained by The Post, show the Santa Clara County District Attorney\u2019s Office ended up charging Aiyuk with one misdemeanor count of exhibition of speed following the police probe and formally issued a warrant for the 28-year-old\u2019s arrest on Feb. 24.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk had initially apologized for his driving behavior in the viral video, promising his fans that his \u201ccar content won\u2019t come with speeding anymore!\u201d<\/p>\n

However, after The Post first reported Wednesday morning that a warrant for his arrest had been submitted, he seemed to issue a defiant response on his Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following news of his arrest warrant, Brandon Aiyuk posted video appearing to show him speeding around a race track. Instagram\/brandonaiyuk<\/p>\n

Aiyuk shared pictures and video of him at a race track with the caption, \u201cMad I took off got some n\u2014z in they feelings!\u201d<\/p>\n

Messages to Aiyuk\u2019s agent, Ryan Williams, seeking comment on the situation have not been returned.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk<\/a>, who shined for the 49ers through his first three seasons in the NFL, has not played a down since injuring his knee in an October 2024 game against the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

San Francisco has been attempting to trade the pass catcher, though negotiations with other teams have been reportedly been difficult as they\u2019ve had trouble getting in touch with him.<\/p>\n
