The San Francisco 49ers have a quarterback conundrum of their own making on their hands. Trey Lance, the former third overall pick who the team traded three-first round picks and a third-round pick to draft, is at the center. Lance has been relegated to the team’s backup quarterback competition after the emergence of Brock Purdy as a rookie.
However, former New York Jets and Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini said on The 33rd Team podcast that he believes Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan should be able to get Lance on the field regardless of where he falls on the depth chart.
