The San Francisco 49ers kicked off organized team activities (OTAs) on Monday. The first on-field session wasn’t open to the media, though. Reporters will get their first look at the players on Tuesday.
The 49ers did offer a glimpse of Monday’s action, posting a video of players going through practice.
The video provides a quick look at Trey Lance, last year’s No. 3 overall pick, and many others. Most expect the second-year quarterback to be the 49ers’ starter in 2022. There has been no shortage of national media questioning his readiness to lead the offense after serving as Jimmy Garoppolo‘s backup last season and starting just two games as a rookie.
OTAs will offer Lance the first opportunity for the 22-year-old quarterback to quiet his skeptics.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan and various players are scheduled to speak to reporters after Tuesday’s practice.
Report it.

Why So Negative? A Look at the Trey Lance Narrative
Trey Lance, who just celebrated his 22nd birthday on May 9, has played ten quarters of regular-season football thus far in his career with the 49ers. However, if you were to search his name on Twitter, or fire up the ol’ Google machine and search there, you would think that the kid has played for multiple seasons and has been downright awful at playing quarterback.
There are 49ers fans on Twitter who have no problem calling him a bust. There are countless national media members and analysts who continue to question Lance’s readiness to play the position. Whether it’s rumors of coaches and front office members being “continually underwhelmed” by the young

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