San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is encouraged by the development of rookie quarterback Trey Lance early into the 2021 NFL season.
Shanahan told reporters he thought Lance has "done a good job, looks like he's getting better each week" following Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The 21-year-old finished 9-of-18 for 157 yards and two touchdowns after replacing an injured Jimmy Garoppolo. He also ran for 41 yards on seven carries. Shanahan said there was "some good, some bad":
"I thought he went in there for the most part — he got thrown in not expecting to get in — thought he ran the ball well.
