In June, new San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward declared that quarterback Trey Lance is "going to show the world this season."
Ward has only been in the NFL for four seasons. However, he knows a thing or two about great quarterbacks. He spent those four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, watching one of the best in the game—Patrick Mahomes.
Of course, reporters wanted to ask Ward to compare Lance to Mahomes. The talented cornerback offered a humorous response.
The topic of Lance came up again this week as Ward joined NBC Sports Bay Area's 49ers Talk podcast. Matt Maiocco asked about going up against an established star like Mahomes and now a younger quarterback like Lance.
"When I got there, he was already a legend in the making," Ward said of Mahomes. "He was already making those crazy no-look passes. In practice, he'll make a behind-the-back pass sometimes. What Pat Mahomes does is incredible.
"It's probably kind of unfair to Trey to compare him to Pat right now because Pat has been to two Super Bowls. He has started like four or five seasons already. And this is Trey's first season of really being QB1. I feel like he's about to show everybody what he's capable of doing.
"He's got to work. He's got to grow. All us got to do that. But I feel like Trey is going to be a great quarterback in the NFL. He's got a good head on his shoulders. He's confident in himself just like I'm confident in myself, and we all believe in him. We all trust in Trey."
