Former Packers wide receiver James Jones knows a little bit about star quarterbacks. He spent eight of his nine NFL seasons with future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. Now an analyst with NFL Network, Jones believes 49ers QB Trey Lance is on his way to being in the same stratosphere as Rodgers and other star quarterbacks.
While the on-field sample size isn’t large with Lance – he threw just 71 passes in 178 offensive snaps as a rookie – Jones is looking toward what others in the building are saying about Lance and how that compares to what fans heard about Rodgers and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.
