Trey Lance’s second pro day has been officially scheduled. The North Dakota State product will show his stuff on April 19th, as ESPN.com’s Chris Mortensen tweets.

Lance will re-take the field ten days before the draft and five days after Ohio State’s Justin Fields holds his second session on Wednesday, April 14. 49ers GM John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan did not attend Lance’s first session, so the hope is that they’ll show up for pro day part two. The Niners haven’t necessarily ruled out Lance. That showcase came before SF traded for the No. 3 overall pick, so Lynch and Shanahan kept their distance in order to keep their plans under wraps.
Depending on who you ask, Lance may be trailing Alabama’s Mac Jones in the bid to be drafted third overall. Still, Lance offers tons of potential, as demonstrated in his 2019 season. That year, Lance went off for 28 passing touchdowns, zero interceptions, and 1,100 yards on the ground.
I think whoever the Niners end up drafting would be well served to spend a year on the bench learning, or at least until Jimmy gets hurt.
1983 all over
I don’t get this 2nd pro day stuff. They choked on1st one and wants a so over? Pro teams have many talent evaluating personnel and scouts to send to multiple pro days at a time. Just kind of weird to me
No, it’s Bc the 49ers didn’t show up
Maybe they simply didn’t want to. Lol
it’s because there aren’t private workouts this year due to covid.
No combine and a strange D2 season is reason to give teams more evaluation film and info to work with… Teams likely want this more than the player…and he’s also going to get his teammates the same second evaluation
Lance would make more sense than Fields for the Pats. You throw a pick and Bill will cut you.
Well normally you have your Pro day and the combine which would be 2 workouts and 2 times to see throw. No combine this year so “replacing” that.
No combine… The 2nd pro day could be his way to show or to work on the projects certain teams or advisors asked of him. This is a great move by Trey Lance considering all the questions around how much football he has played and the talent he has played against. Got to showcase as much as you can.
Poor more by Lance, his stock will never be any higher. The risk of a poor performance or even injury is not worth it IMO.
