Trey Lance has not stopped his efforts to improve at the quarterback position, despite Brock Purdy being slated to be the 49ers’ starting quarterback after the departure of Jimmy Garoppolo to the Raiders.
But, Lance has been limited in his growth because of significant injuries in his first two NFL seasons. During his rookie year, Lance broke his right index finger which created lingering effects throughout his first season. In the 2022 campaign, he sustained a broken ankle in the first quarter of the 49ers’ road game against their NFC West rival Rams in Week 2 and missed the remainder of the season.
However, as San Francisco prepares to open its offseason training activities next week, Lance will look exceedingly different. Jeff Christensen, a private quarterbacks coach, paired Lance with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during a series of workouts in Dallas in early March to work on his throwing motion.
