The San Francisco 49ers made use of their third overall selection on quarterback Trey Lance. As you can imagine, the fans reacted accordingly.
The huge burst of wind you felt was every single San Francisco 49ers fan breathing a sigh of relief when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodall announced North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance was heading to the Bay Area.
The Niners had lots of chatter surrounding their quarterback selection. It was down to Alabama’s Mac Jones who was considered the most NFL-ready signal-caller, Ohio State’s Justin Fields who’s dynamic, and Lance who’s only 20 years old but extremely intriguing.
