With the 2019 NFL Draft approaching fast, quarterback-needy teams are starting to zero in on their preferred prospects. Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray and Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins are currently regarded as the best QBs in the class, but there might be a dark horse in this race. Missouri’s Drew Lock recently talked with the reporters during NFL Scouting Combine and said that he is “No.1” QB in the class.
“I think every quarterback is going to tell you they’re No. 1, so I’m going to sit here and tell you I’m No. 1,” – said Lock. “It’s not my job to go and critique quarterbacks; I just know a lot about me.”
Lock went on to try and make a case for himself and explain why he thinks he is the best quarterback NFL teams can get in 2019 NFL draft.
“I know that I’ve been through a certain amount of adversity at the University of Missouri that will get me ready for the NFL,” – he added. “I know I’m athletic enough to be in the NFL and I’m going to prove that tomorrow. I know that I have the arm strength to play, I can make any throw on the field and I know I have the creativity out of the pocket to make plays when the pocket breaks down. I’m just a really confident guy.
Drew Lock played four years at Missouri, playing 50 games in total, 46 of which he started. His best season came in 2017, when he threw for 3,964 yards and 44 touchdowns, earning First-Team All-SEC honors in the process.
Luck left college with 12,193 passing yards and 99 touchdowns, both of which rank second in Missouri’s history.
