Drew Lock reveals feedback received from NFL Draft Advisory Board

Drew Lock had a phenomenal year with Missouri, and he announced Tuesday that he is still waiting to decide on whether or not to declare for the NFL Draft.

The junior QB for the Tigers put his name on the radar with a record-breaking performance in 2017. Lock broke the SEC single-season record for TD passes with 43. It also marked his second straight season of at least 3,300 yards and 23 TDs.

There’s no denying Lock’s stats have been incredible, but, according to Lock, the NFL Draft Advisory Board advised him to stay at Missouri for his senior season.

Aaron Reiss shared Lock’s comments:

Drew Lock says the NFL draft advisory board told him to go back to school.

With that being said, Reiss did say that Lock is still considering all his options before making a decision about the NFL. Reiss also clarified that the advisory board only hands out three grades for players:

Lock says he’s still considering going to the NFL based on “other things” he’s heard.
The board only gives three grades: first round, second round, or go back to school.

According to Anne Rogers, one of the biggest factors Lock is waiting on before making his decision is who Missouri hires as OC:

Fans will just have to wait for his decision, but they will at least get to watch Lock one more time in Wednesday’s Texas Bowl. Kickoff for that game is set for 9 pm EST on ESPN.
