49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined The Athletic’s Bay Area Editor-in-Chief Tim Kawakami on The TK Show this week to discuss a wide range of topics surrounding the Niners as training camp approaches. Shanahan touched on rookie minicamp, contract discussions with Deebo Samuel, and (of course) the roster’s current top two quarterbacks: Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance.
Late last week, a source with the team expressed frustration to ESPN NFL reporter Dianna Russini about continued questions surrounding the team’s starting quarterback. However, in Shanahan’s conversation with Kawakami, the 49ers top decision maker made it clear: Trey Lance is the team’s quarterback.
