Report: 49ers 'extremely involved' in Lance's workout Monday
With plenty of buzz remaining about who the 49ers are targeting with the third overall pick, San Francisco is "extremely involved" with quarterback Trey Lance's scheduled workout Monday, ESPN's Dan Graziano reports.
Lance normally works under quarterbacks coach Quincy Avery, but he's trained with John Beck in recent weeks at 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan's request, according to Graziano. Beck played for the Washington Football Team in 2011 when Shanahan was the team's offensive coordinator.
It's believed the 49ers effectively designed Lance's upcoming workout as the coaching staff provided Beck with a list of drills it wanted the signal-caller to work on prior to Monday, per Graziano.
Last month, San Francisco traded the 12th overall pick and two future first-round selections to the Miami Dolphins for the third pick in this year's draft. Rumors have since surfaced that the 49ers are targeting Alabama passer Mac Jones, but betting odds last week had Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields as the favorite to be taken with the No. 3 selection.
Beck also works with Fields, Graziano adds.
San Francisco won't be the only team present for Lance's workout. The Atlanta Falcons, who pick after the Niners at No. 4, are also expected to be in attendance.
