Media would sell many that not only was Mac Jones a lock to be the pick, but with those attributes he would be the Day 1 starter.
Much like the media storm created in the weeks preceding the 2021 NFL Draft, reading the tea leaves will point to this notion being false.
Trey Lance at 19 had a near perfect season, albeit at the FCS level.
Reality: Jimmy Garoppolo started and won five straight games just four short weeks after arriving in Santa Clara.
Second year wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk worked with Lance before rookie mini-camp broke and veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu is currently working out with Lance as he resumes with his personal quarterback coaches.
If nothing else, let a guy who would proudly tell anyone who would listen that Lance was the pick all along proclaim why the national media has it wrong yet again.
