During an interview on The Jim Rome Show on Wednesday, Denver Broncos Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis was asked about quarterback Drew Lock, who is entering his second year in the NFL.
“When you talk about a special player and they say he has that ‘it’ factor, it’s not just on the field,” Davis told Rome. “It’s how that person affects other people around him and it’s contagious.”
“When you have a player that just has that swag — call it whatever you want to call it — people are going to follow him. [Broncos players] gravitate toward Drew Lock. He’s found a way in that locker room that everybody speaks like he is the dude.”
Lock has emerged as a leader in the locker room and he has organized unofficial practices with teammates at a Denver area park this month.
“They love his confidence, they love his competitiveness, they like that he’s involved — he’s engaged with the teammates,” Davis said.
After helping the Broncos go 4-1 in their final five games last season, Lock will aim to help Denver reach the playoffs in 2020.
