SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The day after Trey Lance became the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, he arrived at the San Francisco 49ers' facility for his first in-person meeting with coach Kyle Shanahan.
Shanahan had about 15 minutes to chat with Lance and his family, who were about to begin the process of looking for a place for him to live. Given the importance of the quarterback-coach relationship, some discussion of X's and O's or other football-related subjects would have been an understandable topic of conversation.
Instead, Shanahan offered a warning.
