Broncos quarterback Drew Lock showed off a Buzz Lightyear-inspired celebration after scoring a touchdown against the Texans on Sunday. The celebration was a playful jab at himself after teammates made fun of him for wearing a big armband to help call plays.
“It was definitely a lot of fun with Buzz Lightyear this week — blew up on Twitter to where the offensive line was, ‘We should shoot the laser after you score a touchdown,'” Lock said after a 38-24 win. “All right, you want to do it, we’ll do it. We fully embraced it.”
Broncos center Connor McGovern came up with the idea.
“The o-line just [gave] me a bunch of crap when I came in here with the big thing on, so I think it was probably our walkthrough on Saturday, I think it was Connor that said something to me about maybe doing the laser as a celebration,” the QB said. “And we did it. We made it happen.”
Buzz Lightyear is a character from the ‘Toy Story’ series. Lock said he’s a fan of all four movies and noted that the first one is the best and the fourth one is “kind of sad.” ‘Toy Story’ was released in 1995, one year before Lock was born.
“Buzz is older than me,” the quarterback noted. We’ve got to bring back some legends sometimes.”
