Bryce Lance's Combine Performance Sparks Saints' Interest

0:00It's April 25th, you're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The San Francisco 49ers might still be kicking themselves for taking Tray Lance in the top five back in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now his younger brother Bryce is turning heads as a projected pick for the New Orleans Saints at around the 136th spot in the 2026 Draft. Both brothers balled out at North Dakota State University and Bryce stuck around there for his final year despite offers from Big Ten schools that could have paid big. Fans are buzzing about the family tie. Could it mean lightning strikes twice or just more pressure on Bryce to prove himself early? Bryce lit up the combine with a 4.3440 yard dash, a 41.5-inch vertical, and an 11-foot 1-inch broad jump, all at 6.3-204 pounds. He averaged over 21 yards per catch last season, so the Saints could be betting on that upside to rewrite the Lance Family story in the Liga.
