While several current players have entertained the idea of bringing Deshaun Watson to the Denver Broncos, one notable former player has thrown his support behind third-year quarterback Drew Lock.
Peyton Manning, who was announced as a member of the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame class last week, endorsed Lock during a recent interview with KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
“I’m a Bronco fan, I’m a Drew Lock fan,’’ Manning told Klis. “I’ve known him since he came to work our football camp and I’ve kept up with him and stayed in touch with him so I’m pulling for him.”
Manning pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic made circumstances extra difficult for teams with young QBs and new offensive coordinators.
“I’m pulling for Drew,” Manning said. “I’m excited for their prospects with a full year and an offseason getting on the same page in this system with some of those new players and I’m excited for him to have a good year this year.’’
Denver made an offer to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford earlier this offseason. It remains to be seen if the Broncos will try to land Watson.
