Trey Lance dropped back on successive plays and launched deep strikes to Ray-Ray McCloud and Jordan Matthews that showed off an element the San Francisco 49ers hope to add to their offense this season.
With Jimmy Garoppolo far away rehabilitating an injured shoulder before a likely trade or release this summer, Lance ended the team's minicamp fully entrenched as the Niners starting quarterback based on his play and leadership this spring.
After spending his rookie season learning behind Garoppolo and making only two starts, Lance has taken ownership of the offense this offseason and the Niners hope that carries over into strong play when the season starts in three months. Lance's rookie season was impacted by a finger injury in the final exhibition game against the Raiders that didn't fully heal until the offseason.
Lance spent the early part of the offseason working with his trainers tweaking his mechanics, although Lance said most of the changes were minor.
