Drew Lock's Mother Laura Defends Broncos QB on Twitter Amid COVID Investigation

Drew Lock's mother, Laura, believes the NFL and not her son should feel shame after the Denver Broncos lost 31-3 to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in large part because their four quarterbacks were deemed ineligible due to COVID-19 concerns.

Jeff Driskel was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, and Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were ruled high-risk close contacts Saturday because they didn't wear masks or socially distance during a meeting at the team facility.

Laura posted a long message on her Twitter page and said the quarterbacks only met to watch extra film, which she said was an example of her son's leadership.
