Broncos quarterback Drew Lock and former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning both attended the Nuggets’ game against the Raptors at the Pepsi Center on Sunday evening. Denver defeated Toronto 133-118.
Lock was shown on the video board during the game and received a warm reception from fans. Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports interviewed Lock during the game and asked about being adored in public as the Broncos’ quarterback.
“It’s been really good,” Lock said. “I think what people are missing here, though, is that Peyton Manning’s sitting over there courtside. They should really be giving him the big applause because he’s done a little bit more for this town than I have. But I’m hoping that I can do what he did for this town as well.”
Lombardi then asked Lock about the quarterback receiving pointers from Manning this offseason.
“We’ve been on the phone multiple times,” Lock said. “We’ve gone over everything from A-to-Z on what you should do in this offseason. When you should get your receivers together, how you do your regiment of throwing, of lifting, everything. He’s been such a big help to me in this offseason — my first one — to really get me going.”
Lock went 4-1 as a starter last season, throwing seven touchdown passes.
With the help of Manning, Lock should have an even better year in 2020.
