The recent Seattle addition, part of a blockbuster trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Broncos, was the unfortunate victim of an epic burn at the hands of the U.S. Open Tennis Twitter account.
It all started with ESPN tweeting a between-the-legs serve by Nick Kyrgios vs. No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round of Wimbledon on Saturday. A Twitter user with the name "Seahawks fan 4 life Jose Azocar Truther" responded to the highlight, quipping, "Not a sport."
The Open account had the perfect response: "Not a sport says the person about to watch 17 games of Drew Lock at QB."
This offseason, Seattle traded star quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos, marking the end of an era. The Seahawks received a slew of draft picks as well as multiple players�tight end Noah Fant, defensive end Shelby Harris and none other than Lock.
Lock was selected No. 42 by Denver in the 2019 draft and had his best season in '21, starting 13 games and tallying 16 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Lock proceeded to only play in six games for the Broncos last season, starting just three.
