Kittle: Trey Lance 'looks a little bit better than a rookie quarterback'

Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance both took the field during the San Francisco 49ers' OTAs on Tuesday.

Both quarterbacks received reps in 11-on-11 drills during the 75-minute practice session, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, and while Garoppolo appeared recovered from last season's ankle injury, the rookie Lance also impressed.

"He looks a little bit better than a rookie quarterback," star tight end George Kittle said, per Branch.

"He's been everything we've hoped for and more," head coach Kyle Shanahan added of Lance, according to Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee.

The Niners traded the No. 12 pick in this year's draft as well as two future first-rounders to move up to No. 3 and select Lance to be their quarterback of the future. But the 49ers made those moves with the intention of keeping Garoppolo as the starter for the 2021 season.
