With the Minnesota Vikings holding joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers this week, it’s been a bit of a homecoming for Niners quarterback Trey Lance. Lance, who grew up in Marshall, Minnesota and attended Marshall High School left the state to go to North Dakota State University, where he won two FCS National Championships and eventually wound up getting selected third overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Now, Marshall isn’t right next door to the Twin Cities or anything, but the Vikings are making it possible for folks from Lance’s alma mater to see this week’s joint practices anyway.
