Trey Lance, has been traded for the first time in his career to a storied rival in the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. Troy Aikman and Steve Young would not necessarily be jockeying for positions at ESPN but they dueled it out on the field like competitive athletes. Lance tells the story of a Minnesotan, North Dakota State product who after four starts, three first rounders, and possibly a significant risk.
Lance stands 6 foot 4 and 224 pounds and does not shy away from the spotlight. His receding hairline is not the factoring issue. What can be concerning is that Lance did not perform exceptionally well this preseason and is transitioning from a storied rival to lights, camera, action, America’s Team.
San Francisco, CA is, in fact, the size more a population than North Dakota and Dallas, TX, meanwhile, estimated to populate 1.288 as of 2021. Meaning Lance will play in front of more eyes than ever and that is worrisome. Throughout his career, he completed 54.9% of his passes, thrown 797 passing yards and a 5:3 TD to interception ratio.
Nick Foles is the best example. The Super Bowl MVP quarterback starred in three games compared to Lance’s 2 and completed a percentage of 64.1%. Now this is no typo. Lance must play like the FCS champion he became and display grit. It will be too late if Lance does not bounce back because after all, Trey Lance, you’re a Dallas Cowboy.
