Tight end George Kittle had some high praise for his young 49ers teammate Trey Lance.
Speaking to the “I Am Athlete” podcast hosted by Brandon Marshall, the two-time All-Pro compared Lance to Bills QB Josh Allen.
“He can move the chains whether it’s his feet, he’s a big body and can take hits, he wants to make plays, he’s got a cannon of an arm… he’s got an insane ceiling,” Kittle said.

The decks have seemingly been cleared for Trey Lance to take over in San Francisco.
After moving up in the draft to select the North Dakota State product, head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he’s “ready” for Lance to be the starter. And that he thinks it will be “sooner [rather] than later.”
George Kittle, a noted fan of Jimmy Garoppolo, couldn’t help but gush over last year’s first-round pick amid the Jimmy G trade buzz.
“Trey has an insane ceiling,” Kittle continued. “Just needs some reps here and there. Just gotta throw the ball a little bit more. You can’t really get better without playing games. … Just playing, going against competition, getting hit and getting back up. Dealing with adversity.”
If Trey Lance is good as their Pro Bowl TE is advertising, Niner Gang should have nothing to worry about.
