The San Francisco 49ers weren't expected to go into the 2021 NFL season with a quarterback controversy on their hands. That may be changing thanks to rookie signal-caller Trey Lance, the No. 3 overall pick who has been spotted lighting up the defense during his first training camp.
According to reports out of Santa Clara—such as Dieter Kurtenbach's in the Mercury News—Lance has looked phenomenal to start camp. Kurtenbach claimed the QB has "taken his game to a new level" early on, while incumbent starter Jimmy Garoppolo has cooled off after coming out of the gate strong.
