SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Trey Lance rolled to his right Tuesday and cut loose with a high-velocity wobbler that eventually fell harmless to the ground.
Had it been a game or an open practice with fans in attendance, there would have been an audible buzz, because it was one of those moments that was perfect for the kind of overreaction that comes naturally with the most important position in professional sports.
Instead, it was the first day of a mandatory three-day minicamp and the isolated instance came and went. Lance actually had a pretty good day throwing the ball. Even more important, Lance, all of 22 years old, appears to be growing nicely into his role as the face of the 49ers.
