The San Francisco 49ers have a tough decision to make with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, and they’re leaving no stone unturned as they try to zero in on the best quarterback prospect for the future of their franchise.
While Alabama’s Mac Jones is the current favorite to land at that spot, Ohio State’s Justin Fields and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance will be making a strong push for their own candidacy with additional pro day workouts this week.
To that end, both Fields and Lance will be tailoring those workouts to fit certain plays and drills to the specifications of the 49ers and head coach Kyle Shanahan (per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero).
Fields and Lance would both make more sense for the 49ers than Jones, especially after having traded multiple first-round picks in the future just to be in the position to make such a decision at No. 3 overall. These workouts could be what makes the difference when Shanahan and company go on the clock in a couple of weeks.
