After playing in five games last season, Drew Lock will enter the 2020 season as the Broncos’ undisputed starting quarterback. Lock will have more familiarity with some of his teammates and coaches this year but he will also have to start from scratch with his new teammates and new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.
So far, Lock’s offseason has gone well.
“I think he’s done a great job learning the new offense,” Broncos coach Vic Fangio said on June 2. “He’s done a great job with Pat and [quarterbacks coach] Mike Shula and dealing with them on a daily basis with the Zoom meetings. I know he’s leading workouts with the players locally here where some of them get together and try and run the routes and the new concepts we’re teaching. He’s ready to go. He’s chomping at the bit and all is good on that front right now.”
Denver did not have organized team activities or minicamp this spring because of COVID-19. Once social distancing guidelines became a little more relaxed, Lock started organizing unofficial practices with Broncos players at a Denver area park.
Because no coaches are attending the practices, Lock is allowed to practice with his teammates on a voluntary basis. He’s only entering his second season in the league but Lock has already shown great leadership.
