Lee’s Summit’s Drew Lock will play pro football for the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC West rival.
The Denver Broncos selected Lock, the Missouri senior quarterback, with the 42nd overall pick in the second round of Friday’s NFL Draft. Lock is the first of a number of Mizzou prospects who could get drafted this weekend, including wideout Emanuel Hall and defensive tackle Terry Beckner Jr.
The 6-foot-4 quarterback was the fourth signal-caller taken in the draft, behind Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray (No. 1 overall), Duke’s Daniel Jones (No. 6), and Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins (No. 15). Murray went to the Arizona Cardinals, while the New York Giants took Jones with the most surprising pick of the first round.
