Trey Lance 2021 Outlook: Trey To Take Over The Bay?
3 years agoWith the third pick in 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Trey Lance, who they hope is the answer at the quarterback position. Lance only played in one game this past season, but in 2019 he showed why the 49ers valued him so high. Lance threw for 2,786 yards and 28 touchdowns while throwing zero interceptions. Yes, you heard that correctly. Zero interceptions. Lance showed off his mobility as well, putting up 1,100 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. In 2021, Lance will be competing with Jimmy Garoppolo for the starting job in a San Francisco offense that features a talented group of pass-catchers including George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Deebo Samuel. If Lance is able to win the starting job this would skyrocket his ADP and put him in the low-end QB1 conversation as the 49ers have one of the easiest strength of schedules among QBs. In what projects to be a run-heavy offense, Lance can make up for the potential lack of passing volume with his own rushing ability. There will be more clarity after training camp and preseason, but it seems Lance being the starting QB is a matter of when, not if.
