Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins may be the top two quarterback prospects in next month's NFL Draft, but that doesn't mean they will be the only signal-callers taken in the first round.
According to Steve Wyche of NFL Network, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock is drawing significant interest and has met with six NFL teams. Those six teams are the New York Giants, Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins, Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, and Detroit Lions.
Of those six clubs, the Giants have the highest draft position at No. 6, and, as a result, Haskins seems to be the top quarterback on their radar. However, if Haskins is off the board by the time New York picks, perhaps Lock can go at that spot.
Lock is coming off of a senior campaign at Missouri in which he threw for 3,498 yards, 28 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while completing 62.9 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 147.7.
The 22-year-old became the Tigers' full-time starter under center in his sophomore year, finishing with 3,399 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 10 picks while completing 54.6 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 133.3 that season.
Lock then went on to have his best collegiate season during his junior campaign, throwing for 3,964 yards, 44 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, recording a completion percentage of 57.8 percent and a passer rating of 165.7.
The most interesting team on the list of squads that have met with Lock is certainly the Chargers, as they currently have Philip Rivers at the helm and are coming off of a 12-win campaign. But, with Rivers now 37 years old, it seems like Los Angeles is considering drafting a protege.
