Five weeks before the NFL draft begins in Nashville, those were the conditions Drew Lock faced as he threw against air Thursday inside Mizzou’s Devine Pavilion. Without a pass rush in sight, the only pressure Lock could have felt came from the lineup of men in pullovers and khakis scattered around the indoor facility, all with their eyes trained on the 22-year-old quarterback.
In his final public workout of the pre-draft process, Lock completed nearly all of the 60-plus scripted passes he threw during Missouri’s pro scouting day. With at least one representative from all 32 NFL teams on hand for the workouts, Lock walked away fixated on the passes that didn’t settle into his targets’ hands.
