How 49ers' Trey Lance is impressing his QB coach, Brian Griese
Brian Griese joined the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, leaving ESPN to be the team's quarterbacks coach and working with last year's No. 3 overall pick, Trey Lance. He was among the assistant coaches who spoke with reporters on Thursday.
"The other day, I was trying to think of what I would be doing now if I was still working in television, and I was so thankful to be here," Griese said. "Let's just put it that way."
Griese, 47, spent 11 seasons as an NFL quarterback, so he can advise Lance on the challenges he might face while embarking on his first season as a starter.
"I think that some of the things I experienced can be helpful," Griese said. "I hope they can be helpful

San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans says everyone is competing during training camp and the preseason. No one is assuming anything. Instead, players are fighting for roles this season. That includes the competition between Darqueze Dennard and rookie Samuel Womack III for the nickel cornerback job.
Womack made a strong case for himself with two interceptions during Friday night's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. The rookie cornerback hauled in two interceptions on the way to a 28-21 49ers victory. While the performance may have been a surprise to many, it was no surprise to Ryans.
"For Womack, those are plays you saw him make in college," Ryans told reporters after Sunday's practice. "He was always sticky in coverage, contested,
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk physically and mentally prepared for breakout season
"I'm in a whole other place [compared to last season]," quarterback Trey Lance said on KNBR after Friday's practice. "I can't even imagine going back to last year. But yeah, everything has definitely slowed down."
Lance isn't the only San Francisco 49ers player who has made mental leaps this offseason. Brandon Aiyuk has draw consistent praise from his teammates, with many saying the third-year wideout is having an amazing training camp.
Aiyuk also joined KNBR on Friday. He was asked to discuss his progress compared to last year.
