Trey Lance's preseason debut arguably was the most anticipated in recent 49ers history, and the No. 3 overall pick didn't disappoint.
In fact, Lance made 49ers fans go bonkers on the first play of his second drive under center against the Kansas City Chiefs at Levi's Stadium on Saturday night.
After a three-and-out in his first preseason series, Lance took the first snap of the second series, faked the handoff, bootlegged to his left and heaved the ball downfield to wide receiver Trent Sherfield, who caught the ball around the Chiefs' 42-yard line and took it the rest of the way for an 80-yard touchdown.
