Shelby Harris on Drew Lock: ‘He reminds me of Brett Favre’

“I grew up a Packer fan and he just reminds me of a gunslinger,” Broncos defensive lineman Shelby Harris said of quarterback Drew Lock.

Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock has been dubbed a “gunslinger” by many fans and pundits in Denver. The QB has an exciting style — he’ll run around and then bullet a pass to a receiver, bringing back memories of a legend to Packers fans.

“Drew is going out there and proving himself every week,” nose tackle Shelby Harris said after Sunday’s win over the Lions. “He has the whole locker room behind him, everyone loves him here.

“I swear, he reminds me of Brett Favre. I grew up a Packer fan and he just reminds me of a gunslinger. But we all love Drew and we’re all behind him. We just can’t wait to see his progression.”

Favre was a Super Bowl champion, 11-time Pro Bowler and three-time league MVP during his time in the NFL. Broncos fans would love to see Lock have that kind of success. The rookie’s off to a pretty good start.

Lock is 3-1 as a starter and will look to improve that record against the Raiders on Sunday. Denver is considered a 3.5-point favorite.
