Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms has been releasing his rankings for the top 40 QBs in the NFL on ProFootballTalk.com over the past few days. This week, Simms revealed that Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock is ranked No. 25 on the list.
“He’s a first-round talent,” Simms said on PFT’s show. “I don’t know if there’s a guy that we’ve talked about that excites me as much as Drew Lock does . . . he’s got big-time talent. The ball explodes out of his hand.”
Simms has Lock ranked higher than Tua Tagovailoa, Dwayne Haskins, Mitchell Trubisky, Justin Herbert, Taysom Hill, Jarrett Stidham, Tyrod Taylor, Jameis Winston, Case Keenum, Nick Foles, Gardner Minshew II, Teddy Bridgewater, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Joe Burrow, who was the first overall pick in this year’s NFL draft.
The Broncos selected Lock with the 42nd overall pick in the second round of last year’s draft. Lock was sidelined with a thumb injury for the majority of his rookie season. After recovering from that injury, Lock started Denver’s final five games of the season and helped the team finish the year 4-1. He will enter the 2020 season as the team’s undisputed starter.
