Joining a new team. Flying across the country. Playing with the @RamsNFL just two days after joining the club. This has been a week @bakermayfield will never forget. (THREAD ⬇️)
MONDAY:
The Panthers release Baker Mayfield, making him available on the waiver wire.
TUESDAY:
The Rams claim Mayfield off the waiver wire.
Baker flies from Charlotte to Los Angeles with the Rams playbook, landing on the west coast at 7:15pm. He arrives at the Rams facility at 9:00pm.
It’s a new era in the Bay Area. Or should we say the “Trey Area.” 😏
@treylance09 takes over the reins for the @49ers tomorrow. But his journey to SF’s QB1 is almost as impressive as his skill set, and demonstrates the resiliency of this 22-year old star. 😤 (THREAD)
As the starting QB for Marshall Senior HS in Minnesota, Trey thought he’d be a QB at the Univ. of Minnesota, or at least another Division I FBS school.
One problem - Minnesota & all the other top programs wanted Lance to convert to a WR or DB.
Trey made it clear: He was a QB.
To be recruited as QB, Trey had to widen his options. He committed to the top FCS program @NDSUfootball.
