Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer is worried for Trey Lance’s future with the 49ers after his season-ending ankle injury.
“I’m bummed for Trey. I think this could be a career wrecker, to be honest with you,” Dilfer said Tuesday on the “.” “This will be now his third year without playing significant snaps. He had limited passes as a college player.”
Lance’s inexperience is well documented. He only played one full season at North Dakota State and completed 66.9 percent of his pass attempts that year for 2,786 yards, 28 touchdowns and no interceptions. Other than that 2019 campaign that put him on the map, Lance has started seven other football games -- three in college and four since joining the 49ers last season.
“Less than 1,500 attempts as a college player, it very rarely works out in your favor in the NFL,” Dilfer said. “I was willing to take that chance with Trey because I figured his ability to run the ball would be a balancing act to give him a longer leash in the NFL, to play more snaps before he became a refined passer. Now you’re looking at less than 1,500 attempts in college football and three years without playing significant snaps.
