For Lance to be in good spirits is a good sign, considering the 22-year-old's 2022 season came to an end after just five quarters.

In eight career games (four starts), Lance has thrown for 797 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions while completing 54.9 percent of his passes. That adds up to an 84.5 passer rating.

Lance also has rushed 54 times for 235 yards and one score.
