4 former Seahawks players who won't survive training camp

Drew Lock spot with the G's not a lock

Drew Lock’s move to the New York Giants this offseason, signing a one-year deal worth $5 million, marked a significant shift in his career. Despite the guaranteed money, Lock’s position as the backup quarterback is far from secure. He finds himself in a competitive battle with incumbent Tommy DeVito for the crucial role behind starter Daniel Jones.

Lock, a former second-round pick known for his strong arm and potential joins the Giants with hopes of revitalizing his career. However, his path to securing the backup spot is complicated by the presence of DeVito, who has been with the team and is familiar with the Giants' system. The competition between Lock and DeVito will be intense, as both players vie for the opportunity to step in if Jones is unavailable.

The ultimate determination of Lock’s role will be closely tied to the health of Daniel Jones. Jones, who had surgery on his knee, is a key factor in this equation. If Jones is able to return to full health and perform at his expected level, the backup role will become even more crucial. With only one backup spot available, Lock and DeVito must prove themselves as capable and reliable options.

The evaluation of Lock’s performance during training camp and preseason games will be critical in deciding his fate with the Giants. His ability to demonstrate his skills, adaptability, and readiness to step in if needed will play a significant role in securing the backup position. Meanwhile, DeVito will also be showcasing his strengths to retain his spot.

Ultimately, the decision will hinge on Jones’ recovery and the coaching staff’s assessment of both quarterbacks. If Jones is healthy, the backup spot will come down to a choice between Lock and DeVito, making this a pivotal period for both players as they strive to solidify their positions on the team.
