After throwing a touchdown pass against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock celebrated by imitating ‘Toy Story’ character Buzz Lightyear. The funny celebration is Lock’s way of poking some playful fun at himself after teammates mocked his armband in practice.
Broncos rookie guard Dalton Risner likes to tease Lock and that teasing carried over into the huddle.
“That first time out there where I was in the huddle, Buzz Lightyear was used,” Lock said on Dec. 4. “[They said] ‘to Infinity and Beyond,’ with the play calls on my arm, they got all of it ready for me. It’s been fun. It keeps things light for sure in practice.”
Risner was mocking Lock’s armband that displays the team’s plays. Because he didn’t call plays in college, the young quarterback uses the armband to help him call plays in the NFL. That has led to some grief from his teammates and Lock is making the best of it, joining in on the fun.
