Broncos quarterback Drew Lock planned to get together with teammates this offseason for some throwing sessions. Due to COVID-19, though, the second-year quarterback has decided to postpone those workouts.
“It was going to end up being the first couple weeks of April, but I don’t know if that would be socially responsible for us to do that right now,” Lock said in an interview with Phil Milani of the team’s official website. “Depending on how long this goes on, how long they keep us out of the building and whatnot, I’m sure near the end of this we can all get up maybe a couple weeks before we’re all supposed to be back.”
Lock and his wide receivers could have kept themselves six feet apart during workouts but the players would have to travel to a central location for throwing sessions. The workouts might be able to happen later this year.
“As of right now, there’s not an exact plan to get us all on an airplane or drive across the country and meet up with each other,” Lock said.
While he’s not able to workout with his teammates, Lock has been able to stay in shape. He is living at his parents’ house in Missouri and he has been working with a QBs coach and trainer. Lock also said has been running with an elevation mask, preparing for a return to Colorado.
When football eventually returns, Lock will be ready to take the field.
