Lance, who is NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah's third-ranked quarterback in this year's class, is a 6-foot-4, 226-pound player with intriguing athleticism and arm strength.

"I took it the same way I go into a game," Lance said of his mindset heading into his Pro Day. "I do everything I possibly can to prepare as best as I possibly can, so I don't really have anything to worry about at that point. It's just attitude and effort, which are the two things you can control without a doubt. I was looking forward to it. Six months has been a long time without throwing in the Fargo Dome. … [I] was just excited to go out and show what I've got."

During Friday's throwing session, Lance displayed that ability on a deep sideline pass to the left side of the field that he left in perfect position for a streaking wide receiver. Lance unleashed the pass at his own 34-yard line, and it settled into the receiver's hands at the opposing 13-yard line.

"He's going to want a couple throws back, but to me, this was all about horsepower," Jeremiah said of Lance's workout. "When you watch this workout today, you saw him power the football [and] get that first front foot down and then watch the ball explode out of his hand. You saw him from under center, you saw play-action, you saw him get on the move. But to me, it all came down to once he put his back foot in the ground, and that ball jumps. That was the throw of the day right there on that deep corner [route], working to the left side. But he was able to stretch the field with that power arm. Some touch throws down the field got away from him, particularly to the right side, but this guy is dripping with ability. I got a text from a buddy in the league, he's been doing this a long time, who said, 'This guy reminds me so much of Josh Allen.' Nitpick him all you want, but this is a guy that can make some special, special throws.'"

Lance started just 17 games at NDSU, but he did not lose a game as a starter. In 2019, he completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 2,786 yards, 28 touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 180.6 quarterback rating as he led the Bison to an FCS national championship. He was named a first-team All-American and the Most Outstanding Player of the championship game win. He also became the first freshman to win FCS Offensive Player of the Year honors and hauled in several other awards, including Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Player of the Year and being named the top freshman in FCS. His 287 attempts in 2019 without an interception is a record at all NCAA levels. Lance also ran for 1,100 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns.
