Gold Diggers: Trey Lance isn’t attacking where we thought he would

Since the day Trey Lance was drafted, the conventional wisdom was that he would use his legs to extend plays while pushing the ball down the field with the bazooka he calls a right arm. While it’s entirely possible he could still do that during the regular season, he certainly hasn’t done it so far in 2022.

On today’s Gold Diggers podcast, Michelle Magdziuk passed along some great info about what we’ve seen from Trey so far, courtesy of NextGen Stats.

Lance went 11 for 16 for 144 yards, one touchdown, and a quarterback rating of 117.
