As the San Francisco 49ers gear up for the 2022 season with Trey Lance as their starting quarterback, head coach Kyle Shanahan joined Brandon Marshall and PacMan Jones on the I Am Athlete podcast to talk about all things 49ers. One of the things Shanahan spoke about was the decision to draft Lance with the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The 49ers traded three first-round and a third-round pick to acquire the third overall selection last year. While everyone knew they were taking a quarterback to replace Jimmy Garoppolo eventually, no one knew who it would be.
