After clearing multiple hurdles, the former No. 3 pick has found himself in competition with two QBs of lesser pedigree
SANTA CLARA — The first competition 49ers quarterback Trey Lance needed to win during this offseason wasn’t against Sam Darnold or Brock Purdy, but against his own body.
After clearing all these obstacles, the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft has found himself in the position of competing with Darnold, previously discarded by the lowly New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, for the opportunity to back up Purdy, the guy who was drafted 262nd overall in 2022. That’s what happened with Lance. The implanted metal can “shield the bone and make it artificially stronger,” Oji said, but because of the irritation, Lance had to go back in for a second procedure to remove the hardware. When that happens, the ankle becomes exposed.
In April, he returned to Fargo, North Dakota, to throw passes in front of some of his former college coaches at NDSU. His younger brother, Bryce, is a wide receiver for the Bisons. “I don’t know if that will ever be duplicated,” Hedberg said of the 28 touchdowns without throwing a pick.
