Trey Lance performed his second pro day in Fargo, North Dakota on Monday. A few notable teams attended the event. While previous reports indicated that the 49ers, Falcons and Broncos had to have personnel at the display case, the Patriots were there too.
The Pats sent Eliot Wolf and director of player personnel Dave Ziegler to observe Lance, notes Albert Breer of SI.com. It is believed that the Panthers and Bears did not send representatives to look at the North Dakota state prospect this time around, Breer adds, even though both teams were on his first day of pro. Washington, recently linked with Lance, had a contingent in attendance, Dan Graziano from ESPN.com tweets

Lance performed 49ers exercises during practice. The idea to work in Kyle ShanahanThe transgression appeals to Lance, Justin Fields and Mac Jones, Breer said. Lance and Fields chose to continue with second pro days for Shanahan and John Lynch be at hand. Lance has been working with QB guru John Beck for the past few weeks and, according to Graziano, did so at the request of Shanahan (Twitter linkThe San Francisco staff gave Beck a number of exercises for Lance to work on during the build-up to his second pro day. Shanahan coached Beck when he served as an OC in Washington in early 2010.
The Panthers sent their top buyer to Lance’s first pro day March 12; Matt Rhule, GM Scott Fitterer and OC Joe Brady made that journey, adds Breer. The bears have sent Matt Nagy to watch Fields’ second pro day last week, where Washington had the director of scouting in college Tim Gribble at that event. Nagy and GM Ryan Pace made the trip last month to watch Lance, but they were not thought to be at Lance’s second throwing session, which, like Fields’ follow-up training, was closed to the media.
Denver OC Pat Shurmur was at the second sessions of both Fields and Lance, and while the Broncos aren’t a slot to line up one of this year’s top five passers-by, teams think they’re lurking as a stealth QB suitor, according to Breer. The Broncos will choose the ninth. One of those QBs could well fall to them, but the Broncos have also been linked to a possible trade-in for a quarterback. The team last drafted a quarterback for the first round in 2016 (Paxton Lynch) but has never selected one in the top 10. If the 49ers take Jones, the Broncos would be in play for Lance of Fields.
