Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance got the nod on Thursday night in the preseason opener against the Detroit Lions and quickly captured the attention of the globe. Lance, the former third-overall pick who is just looking to oust Taylor Heinicke from the No. 2 spot behind Justin Herbert, quickly drummed up a 9-of-12 line with 97 passing yards and two touchdowns, good for a 137.8 passer rating by halftime. Lance also happens to be younger than, say, Michael Penix Jr. of the Atlanta Falcons, the eighth overall pick in 2024.
