The San Francsico 49ers really had much of the football world thinking they would actually draft Mac Jones with the No. 3 pick, but they clearly made the choice by going with Trey Lance at QB instead. He is considered a huge risk in the draft because of his small, 17-game sample at FCS powerhouse North Dakota State.
“We have been very high on Trey since the beginning, since day one,” Shanahan said. “Yes, the person everyone else is speculating about, we liked him, too, but it was just honestly to go through this whole process where no one has known — my friends, coaches, anybody — how John and I feel and how we felt this whole time.
“I would never have said it couldn’t have ended up being him, but I know how we felt about Trey the whole time, and to watch that happen and kind of watch everyone just assumes because a couple people say something that’s exactly how you feel, we weren’t going to work to correct that. At all. We thought that could be an advantage for us. … If the whole NFL is assuming you’re doing one thing and you’re not doing that, I’m not going to work hard to correct that. So, let that be.”
Soon after the selection, Colin Cowherd’s daughter was bombarded by fans in her Instagram comments over his selection.
She took to Instagram and posted a picture of herself, while asking, “what should i caption this.”
