Lock joined the Seahawks this offseason as part of the blockbuster trade that sent veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. The 2019 second-round pick, who struggled in Denver through his first three NFL seasons, is currently competing for the starting role in Seattle with Geno Smith.
