And with the switch official, the hype surrounding the San Francisco 49ers second-year quarterback, with just two starts under his belt, is at an all-time high.

Current players like third-year receiver Brandon Aiyuk and Pro Bowler Deebo Samuel, and former 49er greats like Jerry Rice and Steve Young have heaped praise on Lance before the season even started.

This week, Aiyuk said that with Lance under center, the 49er offense will be “a little more explosive,” and earlier this offseason, Samuel said, “I think Trey’s going to be a superstar in this championship”.

Last month, Rice said “the sky’s the limit” for Lance.

Nick Wright appears to be sold on the 49ers QB of the future as well, as he explained on Friday’s “First Things First.”

“This Niners team is ready to win right now,” Wright said. “Do we expect the Niners to make the playoffs? Yes. Do we expect Trey Lance to get better as the year goes on? Yes. We know the Niners are good enough to make a playoff run with average, if not below average Yes.

“So once you’re in the Super Bowl, which the 49ers could be, could Trey Lance have a great Super Bowl? Of course he could.”

After showing promise in training camp, Nick Wright explains to Chris Broussard why he thinks Trey Lance’s ceiling is high. Broussard was not so optimistic.

Wright pointed out that Lance could easily have the same type of season that Colin Kaepernick had with San Francisco when he led them to a berth in Super Bowl XLVII after taking over a solid, veteran quarterback in Alex Smith.

Not to mention, both Lance and Kaepernick are dual-threat QBs.

However, Chris Broussard isn’t so convinced when it comes to the unproven 22-year-old.

“Call me crazy for being skeptical that a guy who played football at North Dakota State a few years ago and has only played [two games] His senior year will be going straight into the NFL, his first year as a starter, and it’s going to be amazing,” Broussard said. “I just don’t see it.”

San Francisco QB coach Brian Griese said this week that Lance has shown a maturity early in training camp that he believes will carry him far.

“He gives himself a chance because he shows up every day and is ready to work,” Griese said. “He has a humility about him that gives him the opportunity to learn from his mistakes and grow. I’ve been really encouraged by his demeanor.”

Lance is 1-1 as a starter in those games as well. In six total appearances, he threw for 603 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, completing 57.7% of his passes.
