First look at 49ers rookies on the practice field
The San Francisco 49ers kicked off a three-day rookie minicamp this afternoon.

49ers rookie Danny Gray did this after dropping a deep pass during practice
Like many NFL players, rookie wide receiver Danny Gray strives for perfection. Unfortunately, no one can be perfect. For a quarterback, it's easy to dwell on that off-target throw. Maybe it's that football that slipped out of your grip for a running back. For a cornerback, that near-interception that bounced off your eager hands.

But until the San Francisco 49ers trade Garoppolo, name him the starter, declare that Lance is the starter or decree that the beginning of training camp will be the dawning of a new era in the 49ers' quarterback room, we will continue to hear about him.
So until there is a mutual parting of the ways, writers will write about him, content creators will talk about him, reporters will continue to speculate, and the national media will continue to make things
49ers OTAs: Videos of Trey Lance, others from Tuesday's practice
The San Francisco 49ers kicked off organized team activities (OTAs) this week. Monday's session was closed to the media. However, reporters had an opportunity to observe Tuesday's session and get their first offseason glance at quarterback Trey Lance on the practice field.
While there are several 49ers-related offseason storylines, the most prominent ones have been the quarterback situation and the drama surrounding wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Samuel is not in attendance after requesting to be traded, so there isn't anything new to report on that front.
As for the quarterback storyline, most expect Lance to be the 49ers' starter in 2022, replacing veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, who has remained on the roster much longer than anticipated. Of course, that is primarily
