A San Francisco 49ers quarterback has been learning from Patrick Mahomes ahead of the new season.
Trey Lance, 23, the third pick of the 2021 NFL draft, has been working with the two-time Super Bowl champion in the offseason. Jeff Christensen, a private quarterbacks coach, worked with both players in April and had Lance study the reigning Super Bowl MVP in a bid to improve his game.
In a chat with The Athletic, Christensen recalled: “I said, ‘Watch this. Watch what he does here. It was something I was telling him to do that he wasn’t quite doing. And then he saw Patrick apply it perfectly. And I think that visual buy-in, that mental buy-in, helped him past that mental hump.”
