From the video

McLuhan's a trusted voice... apparently he warned the 49ers that Aayuk was a player that they might want to stay away from mainly because the the reports from Herm Edwards was that we didn't know when he was going to be at the facility at Arizona State when he wasn't. Um and that he he was a real wild card personalitywise, discipline wise.
