WATCH: Trey Lance throws to George Kittle at Tight End University

WATCH: Trey Lance gets some throws in at Tight End University.

Tight End University, an annual gathering of NFL tight ends hosted in part by 49ers TE George Kittle, got underway this week at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.

While more than 70 tight ends attend the event, a host of quarterbacks are also present to help with some of the on-field portions of the session. 49ers QBs Trey Lance and Sam Darnold were among the signal callers invited.

The NFL’s Twitter account, along with NBC Sports Bay Area both posted a couple clips of Lance throwing to Kittle as part of one of the on-field drills the TEs took part in.

It’s a good sign that Lance is healthy enough to be out at TEU, and that he appears to be having a good time with his teammate who’s putting on the event.

Any reps Lance can get leading into camp could be valuable for the QB since he’ll be locked in a battle with Sam Darnold in training camp. The 49ers will evaluate who their starter will be in the event Brock Purdy isn’t healthy by Week 1, or who the QB2 will be if Purdy is healthy and ready to go.
