So he was able to hang up 3,399 yards with 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in the season. 2017 scored Lock with 44 touchdowns not only the most touchdowns in a season of his college career, but also the most touchdowns a quarterback in NCAA -Season 2017.

NFL

NFL experts saw Lock in the run-up to the NFL Draft 2019 mostly as a first-round pick. Ultimately, however, Lock was only selected in 42nd place by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft . He was the fourth quarterback after Kyler Murray , Daniel Jones and Dwayne Haskins to be drafted in 2019.

Lock made his NFL debut in Week 13 of the regular season against the Los Angeles Chargers . He was used as starting quarterback after the former Super Bowl winner and actual starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos ( Joe Flacco , formerly Baltimore Ravens ) was injured and backup Brandon Allen did not perform well. On his debut, Lock threw two touchdown passes and an interception , the Broncos won 23:20. Lock's strongest performance of the season came in a surprising 38:24 win over the Houston Texans , in which Lock completed 71.5% of his passes. He recorded three touchdowns on an interception. While the Broncos clearly missed the play-offs of the 2019 season with 7-9, a positive development succeeded under Lock: of the five games with him as starting quarterback, the Broncos won four.
