Trey Lance Shows off Throwing Ability at NDSU Pro Day Ahead of 2021 NFL Draft

Potential 2021 first-round draft pick Trey Lance showcased his talent Friday at North Dakota State's pro day.

It wasn't a perfect day for Lance, but scouts were generally impressed with what was on display Friday:

According to Chase Goodbread of NFL.com, 30 teams were in attendance, including nine general managers. Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Joe Brady were also on hand to watch the quarterback.

Lance is a unique prospect who had few opportunities to showcase his ability over the past year. The COVID-19 pandemic limited the quarterback to just one game in 2020 before he declared for the draft.

Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski projected Lance to be taken fourth overall by the Atlanta Falcons in his latest mock draft.
