The 49ers opened up their 2021 scoring with a Trey Lance touchdown pass to Trent Sherfield, giving the rookie quarterback his first NFL score.
San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance finally has his first regular-season NFL touchdown, which just so happened to come on the No. 3 overall draft pick’s first pass outside of the preseason.
The Niners started off their Week 1 regular-season opener against the Detroit Lions with the veteran quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, who fumbled the first snap from center Alex Mack on San Francisco’s first offensive snap in the game.
