Report: Justin Fields, Trey Lance to do drills used by 49ers at workouts

The 49ers shook up the pre-draft landscape when they traded up to the No. 3 pick and the impact that the move had will be seen at a couple of upcoming Pro Day workouts.

Justin Fields will hold a second Pro Day workout on Wednesday and Trey Lance will do the same next Monday. With the 49ers almost certainly picking a quarterback, head coach Kyle Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch are set to attend both workouts.

They’ll reportedly see some familiar work being done on the field.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Fields and Lance will incorporate drills and throws that Shanahan uses in 49ers practices along with things they did during their initial workouts this year. That’s as close as they’ll get to holding a private workout for the 49ers under the rules in place for this offseason and we’ll know in a couple of weeks if they impress the 49ers enough to be the choice at No. 3.

  1. IMHO Trey is a little better suited for the 49ers but they can’t go wrong with either.

  2. Who they pick will depend on who is available when it is their turn. There is no assurance that the Jets will pick Zach Wilson. They may instead pick either Mac Jones or Justin Fields. If so, then Frisco may have to choose between Jones and Wilson or Fields and Wilson. Whoever they end up with, they should be in good shape if they have both their pick and Jimmy G. for the 2021 season. The worst thing that can happen is if they get rid of Jimmy G. and their number 1 pick is injured. Cincinnati found out the hard way afterthey got rid of Andy Dalton.

  3. Forget those bogus reports, we all saw what Justin Fields did against Clemson in the CFB semi’s. While injured he came back and had an all-time legendary game. He has the intangibles. Justin Field’s ceiling is limitless! Take him SF!!

    Yes, they will love Lance’s amazing year against subpar competition and his lackluster performance against more of the same in his only game since. At this point, Charles Dance would be a better QB prospect.

  5. Facts are No Ohio State quarterback has ever accomplished anything of significance in the NFL unless you count Tom Tupa

    I have some concerns about the level of competition Lance played against. Whoever decides to draft him, it may be prudent to sit him for at least a year. Similar to Jordan Love, and one of favorite QBs the late Steve McNair (RIP).

  7. Since no rookie quarterback has ever won the Super Bowl in the over 1/2 century history of the Super Bowl. What should Frisco do?

    1. Cut or trade Jimmy G., save $25 milliion in cap space, and give up the chance of winning the SB. By doing so, they have wasted about $150 million they still have to pay the other players for the season.

    2. Keep Jimmy G. for the current season at least, draft a top 3 quarterback as backup and try their best to win the Super Bowl. Then they can decide whether to keep Jimmy G. or get rid of him.

    The answer is pretty clear. People who want Frisco to trade or cut Jimmy G. right now really do not have the best interest of the 49ers at heart.

    Or, you could take a look at his performance in the Championship game against Alabama, where he barely completed over half of his passes and threw for 1 TD in a loss while Mac Jones threw for over 450 yards and 5 TD’s- and neither may be be NFL caliber starters.
