⊇The Denver Broncos are not playing in the preseason until Sunday, so attention has turned to former Broncos players elsewhere. One such player is Drew Lock, a former second-round pick who has moved from the Seattle Seahawks to compete for the backup quarterback position behind Daniel Jones with the New York Giants.
In the Giants’ first preseason game, Lock had a chance to showcase his abilities. After an offseason marked by debate among Giants fans over whether he should challenge Daniel Jones for the starting role, Lock’s performance in the preseason opener appears to have brought a sense of unity among the fan base.
In his preseason debut for the New York Giants, Drew Lock was 4-for-10 passing for 17 yards, with an interception and a sack, resulting in a quarterback rating of 8.3. This performance would have been more favorable if he had simply thrown 10 incomplete passes. Throughout his time with the Denver Broncos, there was a consistent divide among fans due to Lock’s evident talent overshadowed by frequent mistakes with the football. His debut with the Giants seems to reflect this pattern, as he struggled to avoid turnovers and make a positive impact on the field.
Drew Lock showed promise last year with the Seattle Seahawks, including a notable win over the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he struggled to replicate that success with the New York Giants in his preseason debut, throwing an interception early and displaying erratic play. One of the main frustrations for Giants fans was Lock’s failure to involve Malik Nabers, who ran 12 routes against the Lions but was not targeted. Lock missed Nabers open at least once, raising concerns that failing to consistently utilize Nabers could be a potential issue for the team throughout the season.
