Video of San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Trey Lance throwing to his teammate, veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu,
surfaced yesterday. The quarterback isn't taking a break, it seems. More footage of the rookie getting in some much-needed reps has been released. The latest comes from wide receiver specialist Stephon Brown of Top Shelf Performance (h/t to
@Thesfniners_ for the find).
You can see Lance throwing to former Duke wide receiver T.J. Rahming and Gardner-Webb wideout Justin Franklin in the video.
Below are the videos from yesterday that showed Lance tossing passes to Sanu.
The 49ers ended their offseason program last week. Players report to training camp on July 27 and hit the practice field four days later. Until then, it is up to each of them to train on their own.
One teammate was impressed with what Lance showed during his few weeks participating in San Francisco's offseason program.
"I think Trey, he has all the attributes to be a very good, very special quarterback,"
tight end George Kittle said this week. "He's a freak athlete. I think, really, one of my favorite things about him right now, just as a rookie, is that he takes risks. He doesn't complete all the passes that he throws, but he's trying to fit into those small windows, and he's just trying to throw it as hard as he can to get it to that wide receiver, going for him in that second window."

Trey Lance among 49ers remaining in Santa Clara for some extra work
The San Francisco 49ers concluded their offseason program by ending their mandatory minicamp a day early last week. Wednesday was the final practice. The team held a family day on Thursday, hosting players, coaches, and staff for food and fun.
The 49ers moved up the minicamp by a week. They could have held the remainder of organized team activities (OTAs) this week but opted to cancel the remaining practices, allowing players an extended break before reconvening in late July for training camp. The rookies were already expected to remain in Santa Clara this week for some extra work.
They won't be the only ones, though. According to NBC
Report: 49ers QB Trey Lance's throws 'more crisp and tighter' thanks to healthy finger
The positive reports surrounding the No. 3 overall pick in last year's NFL Draft keep pouring out from Santa Clara. There was a lot of chatter about the San Francisco 49ers having doubts about second-year quarterback Trey Lance as he prepares to become the team's full-time starter. That chatter lessened once the offseason program kicked off, and reporters got closer looks at the quarterback's progress.
A new report from NBC Sports Bay Area states that Lance's throws this offseason look much improved compared to last season.
"Sources close to the quarterback have shared with NBC Sports Bay Area that now, with a fully recovered
49ers and Trey Lance: There's a storm brewing in The Bay
Second-year San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance is mentally and physically preparing for war. During organized team activities (OTAs) and mini-camp, we heard from Lance, his coaches, and most importantly, his teammates. The commonality in what they shared about the young quarterback was his confidence and leadership.
How does a young kid who didn't see much playing time during his rookie season prepare for year two? It's simply his confidence. Confidence isn't something you develop overnight. Instead, it's something that evolves through adversity.
Lance received a Division I scholarship to the University of Minnesota to play linebacker. However, he wanted to play quarterback, so he took his talents to North Dakota State, where he red-shirted his freshman season
2nd-year QB Rankings: NFL insiders share differing evaluations of 49ers' Trey Lance
You can tell it's the dead part of the NFL offseason when random rankings start popping up across the sports world. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler went to NFL execs, scouts, and coaches, though, asking which second-year quarterback is poised for a big season in 2022. Those NFL insiders ranked the sophomore passers, which Fowler then compiled into his own ranking based on 2022 expectations.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance came in at No. 5, behind Trevor Lawrence, Mac Jones, Zach Wilson, and Justin Fields. Not so coincidentally, each of those quarterbacks has more starts under their belts than Lance, who started two games in 2021. Lawrence and Jones started 17 games, Wilson started 13, and Fields started 10.
The only second-year quarterback listed below Lance is
