When Drew Lock was part of the deal that sent Russell Wilson from the Seahawks to the Broncos, he was seen as a potential replacement for the Super Bowl-winning signal caller.
That's not exactly how things have panned out in Seattle. Lock had to compete with journeyman Geno Smith for the starting job and ultimately, a career resurgence for the veteran put Lock in a backup role with the Seahawks.
However, as the 2023 season has shown more than any other in recent memory, injuries are bound to happen, especially at quarterback. Smith hurt his groin in Week 14, causing Lock to jump into game action for his third appearance this year. The injury to Smith has lingered, and there is a shot that Lock gets his first start with the Seahawks on Monday night when the Eagles travel to Lumen Field.
Lock has not started a game since 2021, when he was still a member of the Broncos. The 27-year-old has carved himself a nice backup role on Pete Carroll's squad, but the Missouri product may now be at the forefront of a 6-7 Seattle team desperately looking to stay alive in the playoff race.
