Trey Lance smiles again

A year of learning. A year in the infirmary. Will the third be the right one for Trey Lance? In any case, the 49ers quarterback finds a smile.

“I really feel like I’m having fun again,” he told ESPN. “It’s hard the first few years. The first necessarily, and then last year… I finally have the impression that I can have fun and enjoy myself again. »

Victim of a fractured right index finger in his first season, then ankle in 2022, Lance played only 102 snaps in his first two campaigns. While awaiting the return of Brock Purdy from injury, he must face Sam Darnold for the starting position. The good news is that he is now fully healthy to fight.

Tyler Boyd thinks he would have made the difference

Injuries are unfortunately a part of NFL games. But in a world where everyone stayed healthy? The Bengals would have replayed the Super Bowl. In any case, that’s what Tyler Boyd (WR, Bengals) thinks, hit in the thigh in the second quarter of the conference final against the Chiefs.

“To this day, I think if I had played the whole game, I was the key factor. We would have won the game,” he told ESPN.

Boyd had caught 2 passes for 40 yards before going out.

In short

– Calvin Ridley (WR, Jaguars) is not yet at the bottom. Doug Pederson explained to the press that his team is gradually increasing its workload so as not to rush him after a year of absence. Especially since his year 2021 ended with a broken foot. “We have to stop it. He wants to do so much, so fast and so hard in training that we have to stop him and tell him it’s not time yet.“, explained the coach to ESPN. Pederson said Ridley will be going all out for training camp this summer.

George Pickens aims for the Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl

Author of an encouraging rookie season, George Pickens already sees himself among the best receivers in the NFL. Asked by College2Pro.com, the Steelers receiver has high goals in 2023, he who already thought he deserved the Pro Bowl in 2022.

“My goals for my second season are the Pro Bowl because I feel like I was snubbed last year. Because there weren’t a lot of guys in the Pro Bowl that I was excited about. Then the Super Bowl. Both. Do a lot of yards after reception too. »

Author of 52 receptions, 801 yards and 4 touchdowns, Pickens was, despite what he thinks, far from the statistics of a Pro Bowler. He will have to confirm the promises of 2022 and more if he hopes to accomplish his objectives.

Who will be the worst quarterback for the Buccaneers?

Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask? Who will be the Buccaneers starting quarterback in 2023? If today Mayfield seems to hold the rope, the battle rages during the training camps. A confrontation that looks like a penguin duel, at least according to the images posted on Twitter by Kyle Burger, reporter for ABC in Tampa. We see the two quarterbacks miss several throws that are easy on paper. Not enough to reassure Bucs supporters…
