The Speculations Got Fueled after Lance’s NFL Draft
Lance and Liv’s dating rumors were already hyped, and it further got fueled when the North Dakota State college player was drafted as the third overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2021 NFL Draft.
After Lance got drafted, Colin once again praised the quarterback through a Twitter post, as he mentioned that Lance is the right pick and is a stronger and bigger athlete than Mac Jones. Continuing his statement, he told;
“I know Trey, I like him, I think he’s a really good kid. This is 6-foot-4, 220 [pounds], big arm, can run — he has as many starts as Mac Jones, but unlike Mac, he didn’t have the protection, didn’t have the many receivers that were wide open. Every scout I know, every executive I know loves this kid. This is the right move. I’m sorry, but I can’t go low ceiling with Mac Jones, can’t do it. Ha, it’s great. Yeah, baby, kid earned it, couldn’t be happier.”
