The Facts: 9NEWS photographers observed Lock, his backup QB Brett Rypien and about 20 other players show up at the Broncos' UCHealth Training Center on Monday for virus testing, weight training and conditioning workouts. Considering the Broncos players as a group put out a statement last week stating they would not attend in-person offseason workouts, it was a decent turnout.
Diehards Line:
The "boycott" to the offseason program does not include the team's virtual meetings. The Broncos had near perfect player attendance to their 2-hour virtual meetings Monday morning. ... Meanwhile, Lock told 9NEWS over the weekend he has been "radio silent this offseason" and was determined to "let my actions do the talking." By showing up Monday for the first day of team conditioning workouts at team headquarters, Lock's actions said he's going to do all he can to remain the Broncos' starting quarterback. With his young career already at a crossroads, Lock is not about to miss a team-organized offseason program for a second consecutive year, no matter that many of his teammates are boycotting the in-person portion of the offseason program. Lock has not commented about all the potential threats to his starting job security. But by showing up Monday, he's sending the message he's well aware of them.
