Nate Burleson says Broncos are ‘in a great place’ with Drew Lock

Last week, the ‘Good Morning Football’ crew on NFL Network discussed which second-year quarterbacks they are most excited to watch in 2020.

Former wide receiver Nate Burleson picked Broncos quarterback Drew Lock, who went 4-1 as a starter last season.

“The Broncos used their first two picks on wide receivers . . . then you add the fact that Courtland Sutton is literally just figuring out his powers . . . so now they have one of the youngest groups of wide receivers — guys that are still on their rookie deals — and you can build on that plus the quarterback,” Burleson said on NFL Network.

“I feel like the Broncos are in a great place over the next few years to start to add to what Drew Lock can potentially become in this league.”

In addition to Sutton, Lock will also have Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, Noah Fant, Albert Okwuegbunam, Phillip Lindsay and Melvin Gordon to work with this season. Denver’s offense appears poised to have a breakout year.
