The San Francisco 49ers drafted Trey Lance in the hope that he would lead their offence to a Super Bowl and, while it has been a challenging star to his NFL career, the quarterback is set to take over as the team's starter in 2022.

With this responsibility comes inevitable financial gain, with sponsorship deals likely to bolster Lance's net worth, however this will also be paid on top of an incredibly high rookie salary after being taken so high up in the NFL Draft.

Lance signed a four-year deal with the Niners that was rumoured to be worth around 34 million dollars upon his arrival in the NFL.

While taxes have to be factored in, as well as guaranteed money, the quarterback will have had his overall worth boosted.

2022 will see that signing bonus stay the same, but Lance's annual salary will increase slightly to a worth of around 2.2m dollars, according to figures provided by Spotrac.
