It won't count in his official rookie stats, but 49ers first-round quarterback Trey Lance turned plenty of heads with the first completion of his professional career.
Lance unleashed an 80-yard bomb to Trent Sherfield on his second drive to put San Francisco on the board against the Chiefs on Saturday night. He came into the game on the 49ers' second series after Jimmy Garoppolo started the first.
The 49ers traded three first-round picks and a third-round pick to move up from No. 12 to No. 3 and take Lance in the 2021 draft, signaling the franchise's belief in him as the future of the offense.
