Trey Lance appears to be doing all the right things this offseason. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has gushed about his progress this year compared to last year. Lance’s private quarterbacks coach, Jeff Christensen, described to the Athletic the substantial leaps he took while training with Patrick Mahomes this offseason. That progress is notable for Lance, who hasn’t gotten many chances to develop since coming into the NFL as a player who needed plenty of development.
Offseason work is just one piece of the equation. The more difficult part will be translating that work into live reps.
