It is just assumed that George Kittle is easy to connect with in the passing game. 

But Trey Lance, a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, revealed recently that it doesn't happen easily at all. 

“It’s different for sure,” Lance said on the latest “49ers Talk.” “Timing is a huge part of it and George, his explosiveness and speed and everything, and just ability to make plays is probably one of the toughest guys I’ve had to throw to, so just continue to get reps with him and get reps with the guys, it only helps.”

Lance paid a visit to Nashville recently, where he was able to connect with teammates, according to NBC. 

Apparently, according to the same report, Lance also sat in on classroom discussions learning from his 49ers teammate, Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce, and NFL alums Greg Olsen and Rob Gronkowski. 

Though Brock Purdy has been coronated as the team's franchise quarterback, Lance is taking advantage of an offseason where he can build chemistry with veteran teammates. 

And with the extra time on the field together, Lance is making sure that his connection with Kittle is air-tight.
