The rumors connecting the Broncos to quarterback prospect

This one coming from someone connected to Missouri where Lock played his college ball and a longtime NFL veteran who played for newly hired Broncos Head Coach Jake Butt Jersey , Vic Fangio. According to Brian Neuner, the Denver Broncos and Head Coach Vic Fangio are doing their homework on quarterback, Drew Lock, and have talked to NFL veteran Justin Smith about Lock. Heuner who I am assuming is getting this information from Justin Smith, says that Fangio reached out to Smith about Lock and asked how he felt about the former Missouri quarterback. Smith, who is also a Missouri grad and played for Fangio in San Francisco apparently told him that he believes Lock is the best quarterback in the draft. Obviously, there is some likely bias here, but Fangio apparently trusts Smith’s opinion enough to ask. As I said, Smith who played 14 seasons in the NFL and totaled 880 tackles, 87 sacks, and 17 forced fumbles during his career finished out his career playing for Fangio. From the beginning of the 2011 season to the end of the 2014 season, Fangio served as the San Francisco 49ers Defensive Coordinator, so the two obviously built a relationship during that time. I know the credibility here isn’t what you want, but It makes sense for it to happen. Smith obviously is still following Missouri football and it makes sense that Fangio would reach out to one of his former players about the quarterback the Broncos are interested in and one Smith knows a bit about. As I said earlier in the article, the Broncos interest in Lock has been well documented and they do desperately need a young quarterback to develop and hopefully be their future at the position. I think as of right now, it is safe to pencil in Lock as the Broncos first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Would 10(or earlier) be too early to select Lock? Well Andy Janovich Jersey , according to Benjamin Allbright, NFL people at the Senior Bowl believe Lock will go in the top 10 of the 2019 NFL Draft. Allbright was also one of(if not the first) to begin the Lock to Denver conversation as well. The Broncos have been fairly obvious in the past from their past three Head Coaches and their first-round picks(Bolles and Lynch) so all this evidence stacking up is noteworthy. I know some will throw the “smokescreen” card around but, I think their interest in Lock is genuine. I am liking what I saw from Lock this week at the Senior Bowl and he possesses all the “uncoachable” traits scouts, coaches, and GM’s look for in a prospect. He needs some refining obviously, but that is why the Broncos hired Rich Scangarello to be their Offensive Coordinator/Quarterback developer. A move/hiring that screamed “we are drafting Drew Lock” to me personally. It is rumor season and I know some of you will hate this, but the evidence is piling up between the Broncos and Missouri quarterback prospect, Drew Lock. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Try as he might, Von Miller just can’t find anything bad to say about Philip Rivers anymore.“I’ve always enjoyed going against Philip,” Miller said Thursday. “Well, I’m lying. I didn’t use to always like going against Philip. I really didn’t like the guy until like two years ago.”That’s when the Broncos‘ star pass rusher got to know the Chargers‘ star quarterback at the Pro Bowl.“When we kicked it at the Pro Bowl, I was just blown away about what type of guy he was on and off the football field,” Miller said. “And I got a lot of respect for him.”Miller said that if Rivers were surrounded by the talent the likes of which Tom Brady, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger have enjoyed throughout their careers, “he’d have multiple Super Bowls just like those guys.”Miller and Rivers face each other for the 15th time Sunday when the reeling Broncos (3-6) Colby Wadman Jersey , losers of six of their last seven, face the red-hot Chargers (7-2), who have won six in a row.Miller said the only reason he used to despise Rivers was the uniform he wears.“I just didn’t like him because he played for the Chargers,” Miller said.It wasn’t so hard for him to come around to liking the guy, however.“You ride on the bus at the Pro Bowl and in the locker room you’re just around the guys and you’re like, ‘Man, this guy’s cool. I like this guy.’ He’s a great father. He’s a great leader for the Chargers,” Miller said. “I know some guys over there in Melvin Ingram and Melvin Gordon and they say the same thing about him.“Everybody loves him. I’ve got a lot of respect for him and this game’s going to be a good one.”Miller said so many other defenders are bothered by Rivers because of his talent and renowned trash talk.“I wouldn’t say it’s trash because his trash talking really doesn’t bother me: ‘Got the first down, sucker!’ It really doesn’t bother me. Some guys it does, but not me,” Miller said. “I like playing against Philip. He’s a good guy.”Miller has sacked Rivers 15 times , by far the most of any quarterback he’s ever faced and almost twice as many times as No. 2 on the list, Alex Smith, with eight.Rivers said Miller is even more dangerous opposite rookie Bradley Chubb.Combined, they have 17 sacks so far.“Those are two really good rushers, really good football players Devontae Booker Jersey ,” Rivers said. “I think Von plays the heck out of the run. So does Chubb.”Miller said Rivers has never been better.He’s getting the ball out quicker than ever, the Chargers’ ground game is the best it’s been in years and L.A.’s O-line is playing exceptionally well, all reasons Rivers has only been sacked a dozen times so far.“It’s the best Chargers team that I have played in my career,” said Miller, an eighth-year pro.So, who’s replaced Rivers atop Miller’s enemies list?“I don’t really have any enemies at quarterback,” Miller said. “Now, offensive linemen, it’s different. But you know quarterbacks, whenever I get close to them they fall or they run away. Those are the type of pants I like to wear.“I’m pretty cool with quarterbacks. It’s a quarterbacks’ league, so I’m friendly with all the quarterbacks.”And pretty good at buttering them up, too.
