some really good quotes here in this Missourian article...he must have really put on a show. The ones that stood out to me:
“When Drew Lock came here, my first impression having watched him at Missouri was he would put on a performance similar to what I saw a couple years back from (Texas Tech’s) Patrick Mahomes or (Wyoming’s) Josh Allen a year ago,” said Detillier, who publishes an annual NFL draft preview and does radio and print work in Louisiana. “He was a fireball thrower. Big guy, strong arm. He’s been, what, a 57 percent completion guy in college? What’s stunning, was watching him throw on Thursday, he was in the groove and dead-on accurate. He was working with receivers he’s never played with before, guys from LSU, Tulane, Nicholls and Southeastern Louisiana — not throwing to his guys. I can’t remember another guy throwing the football as accurate as he did to guys he’s never worked with.”
In fact, the only MPA counselor Detillier can recall throwing the ball as accurately as Lock was the Detroit Lions’ Matthew Stafford, the No. 1 overall pick out of Georgia in 2009.
You can see Lock’s got the special qualities, not only physically but mentally and leadership-wise. I watched his group work with the high school kids, and he had control of that unit of kids. They really listened to him. I was blown away.”
