On today’s Gold Diggers podcast, Michelle Magdziuk returned from vacation with some numbers about Trey Lance’s rookie year that may surprise you. But fortunately, there’s good reason for even the worst of them to be better going forward.
To put it bluntly, Lance stunk against the blitz last year. Lance had a 51.3 passer rating against the blitz in a limited sample size.
