Denver Broncos quarterbacks Drew Lock (3), left, and Teddy Bridgewater (5) both get ready to pass during practice at the UCHealth Training Center on May 24, 2021 in Englewood. The Denver Broncos acquired Bridgewater in a trade with the Carolina Panthers just ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft. Lock is the BroncoÕs third year quarter.

Keeler: Drew Lock doesn’t have to be Aaron Rodgers. Or Deshaun Watson. But if he’s 2020 Lock, Broncos have to move on.

And if he can’t beat out Teddy Bridgewater for the No. 1 job, that’s a bad sign for his long-term future in Denver. If there is one.
