San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance, the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft, has been given an impossible task as the team prepares to play the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
Lance won’t have to do this on the field on Saturday — Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to start despite a sprained shoulder — but the Niners have asked him to imitate the presumptive MVP in practice so the defense can get used to how Rodgers operates.
Imitating Rodgers is not easy; if it was, there’d be 31 other Rodgers-like QBs in the NFL.
