Missouri QB Drew Lock Doesn't Care If You Like Him; It's Respect He's After

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri quarterback Drew Lock is mad. Mad about a lot of things, really. "If I didn't have this edge," he says from inside an empty meeting room at the team's football facility, "I just don't know…"

It is the middle of July, six weeks before Lock's senior season—six weeks before his second audition for NFL teams begins in earnest. Some believe he is the top quarterback in his class and a potential franchise changer. Others aren't so sure.

But even now, wearing a smile and wristband with "HUMBLE OR HYPE" etched across it, Lock is displeased by his relative anonymity.
