The Facts: After the 49ers drafted Trey Lance with the third overall choice, he expressed a desire to get to know and to learn from Garoppolo. Not long after that, Garoppolo reached out to Lance to welcome him to the team. "Yeah, he sent me a text last night, and I was super thankful and grateful for that," Lance said Friday. "For him reaching out, it meant a lot to me, and I'm super excited to get to work, get to meet him and to learn as much as I possibly can from him."
Diehards Line:
The 49ers drafted Lance as their franchise quarterback but remain committed to Garoppolo as their starting quarterback for now. "Jimmy's situation is, if he isn't here on Sunday, I would be disappointed because Jimmy is the quarterback who has played one year and taken us to a Super Bowl and played at a very high level," Shanahan said Thursday night. "He's had some unfortunate injuries, but I believe in Jimmy as a person and he's shown what he can do on tape. ..." And it appears he's willing to do what it takes to make Lance feel at home.
