The San Francisco 49ers launched Organized Team Activities (OTAs) this week. Monday’s session was closed to the media. However, reporters got a chance to observe Tuesday’s session and get their first off-season look at quarterback Trey Lance on the practice field.
While there are several offseason storylines tied to the 49ers, the biggest ones have been the quarterback situation and the drama surrounding wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Samuel is not present after asking to be traded, so there is nothing new to report on that front.
As for the quarterback scenario, most expect Lance to be the 49ers starter in 2022, replacing veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, who has been on the roster much longer than expected. Of course, this is mainly due to his shoulder surgery on March 8 which caused his business value to plummet. It will start launching again at the end of next month or the beginning of July.
Meanwhile, some media have questioned the team’s confidence in Lance’s willingness to lead the offense in his second season in the NFL. A strong performance during OTAs could go a long way to answering this narrative.
Below are some of the videos from Tuesday’s practice that have surfaced from various sources. Please note that recording is not permitted once team drills have started.

49ers legend Bryant Young offers this advice to Trey Lance
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is preparing to enter his second season in the NFL, and likely his first as a full-time starter. He had two starts in his rookie campaign, but only because veteran Jimmy Garoppolo was injured. 49ers legend Bryant Young played on the defensive side of football for 14 years, all with San Francisco. Young frustrated opposing quarterbacks during his illustrious career, knocking them down a team record 89.5 times. What advice does the future Hall of Fame defenseman have for the 22-year-old 49ers quarterback? “He’s a big kid,” Young said on KNBR’s Murph & Mac show on Wednesday. “I was lucky enough to meet him at the 49ers Foundation event earlier in the year. Not only is he a big, athletic boy with a
