Earlier this week, the New England Patriots sent two of their most prominent talent evaluators to Fargo to take a close look at a quarterback. Assistant director of player personnel Dave Ziegler and scouting consultant Eliot Wolf did not just scout any QB, though, but one of the most intriguing in the country: North Dakota State’s Trey Lance.
Ziegler and Wolf representing the organization at Lance’s second Pro Day was not the first interaction it has had with him, though. The Patriots also sent national scout Matt Groh to attend his first workout last month.
With New England being in the market for a long-term solution at the quarterback position a player such as Lance would make plenty of sense.
