When the Denver Broncos drafted quarterback Drew Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Broncos believed they were getting a future starter for their franchise. The former Mizzou quarterback was one of the top prospects in the draft, and was the fourth quarterback taken.
Lock started four years in the SEC, and had plenty of reps throughout the preseason, even though it was cut short because of a thumb injury. He is more ready than several other rookie QBs who were thrown into a starting role throughout the years.
After placing Joe Flacco on injured reserve, the Broncos decided to start Brandon Allen for now.
