Lamar Jackson team no. 4: San Francisco 49ers

A lot of insiders believe Kyle Shanahan drafted Trey Lance in 2021 to create an offense similar to what Lamar Jackson was running in Baltimore. Due to injury and performance-related issues, Shanahan has not been able to replicate that with Lance.

Jackson in the 49ers’ offense would be borderline unstoppable. The top-tier running game led by Christian McCaffrey behind a strong offensive line with receiver options like Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk is beyond anything Jackson has had at his disposal during his five years in Baltimore.

Jackson has been used to having a complimentary defense that generates more opportunities for the offense to be on the field and the San Francisco defense would not let him down either. The 49ers are currently weighing their options between keeping Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Brock Purdy. Pursuing Lamar Jackson should be the new and only option in San Francisco.
