Wife of journeyman quarterback 'damn proud' of him after finding new team in free agency

Drew Lock has had quite a roller-coaster career thus far in the NFL.

Drafted in the second round out of Mizzou in 2019, the quarterback was set to be the future of the Denver Broncos — but it didn't exactly pan out that way.

Lock was placed on injured reserve before he even appeared in a regular season game, but he made five starts toward the end of the year, and started in 13 the following season.

He was eventually benched, though, and has been a backup for the last three seasons with two separate teams.

Earlier this week, Lock agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants, and while it remains to be seen where he will land on the depth chart (it's pretty much anything but QB1), he has the full support of his wife, Natalie.

"See you soon NY. Damn proud of you baby!!" she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

In 2020, Lock led the NFL with 15 interceptions (versus just 16 touchdowns), and in his first 18 NFL games, he threw for just 3,953 yards and 23 touchdowns.

In 2021, the Broncos signed quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, and gave him the starting job over Lock. The following offseason, Denver sent Lock to Seattle in the Russell Wilson deal to compete with Geno Smith — Smith won the job and helped the rebuilding Seahawks to a playoff appearance.

Lock appeared in just four games last year (10 overall as a Seahawk), but is now headed to the Big Apple.

Lock, at the moment, figures to compete with Tommy DeVito for the backup role behind Daniel Jones (Tyrod Taylor is switching locker rooms at MetLife Stadium to become a New York Jet), but there is also plenty of speculation that the Giants could take a quarterback in next month's draft.
