2. Drew Lock has more tools

Although Teddy Bridgewater is an outstanding athlete compared to any average Joe, how does he compare physically and athletically to Drew Lock?

This is a huge advantage in Lock’s favor.

Lock is bigger, faster, and has a stronger arm than Bridgewater.

Although Bridgewater was once a first-round draft pick and Lock was a second-round pick, there is no question who wins the “tools” contest.

Lock has certainly had his fair share of bad moments in the NFL. He’s made some really ugly throws and thrown some untimely interceptions.

One thing that you can’t really knock Lock for, however, is tools. He has a very good arm and athletically he’s right up there with some of the other young quarterbacks that are having success in the league.

Lock may not be as big as Justin Herbert, as fast as Lamar Jackson, or an all-around unicorn like Josh Allen, but he’s got plenty of tools to work with and both general manager George Paton and head coach Vic Fangio have noted that Lock has the physical tools to be a good NFL quarterback.

The ball will noticeably pop out of Drew’s hand more than Bridgewater’s. Lock is more physically impressive and is a better all-around athlete.
