After an eventful lead up to the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers unveiled the best-kept secret in the league when they selected North Dakota State QB Trey Lance third overall.
In the days leading up to the draft, speculation was rampant that the Niners were going to go with Alabama’s Mac Jones, but general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan went with the guy they feel can lead the organization to a championship in the future.
Lance only played one full season at the FCS level and turns 21 on Sunday.
