Bryce Lance 40 time, NFL Combine testing gives Ndsu WR chance to redeem brother bust status

Bryce Lance -- yes, that Lance -- has a chance to be a highly productive wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

He showed out at the NFL Combine on Saturday in Indianapolis to make his case with some great testing numbers, particularly his 40-yard dash time.

Lance ran the 40 in 4.34 seconds.

He also had a vertical leap of 41.5 inches.

His broad jump? 11 feet, 1 inch.

He measured up at 6-foot-3, 204 pounds.

Yeah, that dude sounds like a _dude._

Lance averaged 21.2 yards per catch in 2025 and turned down big money from the Big Ten to stay at North Dakota State for this final season.

That's serious loyalty, which NFL teams will appreciate.

Lance, yes, is the younger brother of Trey Lance.

Trey, of course, was the 49ers' No. 3 overall pick in 2021 as a quarterback out of NDSU and ended up being a total bust.

Older bro is bouncing around as a backup QB now.

Bryce has a chance to make the Lance name a more notable one in the NFL. He's certainly got the traits for it, and one team is going to be very excited to draft him after this showing at the combine.
