Drew Lock wore No. 3 in high school and college before going on to wear the number in his first three years in the NFL with the Denver Broncos.
When Lock was traded to the Seattle Seahawks, he switched to No. 2. The quarterback has since explained why he’s not wearing No. 3, which was formerly worn by Russell Wilson in Seattle.
“Well, for one, as long as football goes on, Russell Wilson will be very special to this place, very special to Seattle,” Lock said at his introductory press conference on Monday. “And I know what it takes to, kind of build a legacy. You know, you wouldn’t, you wouldn’t go wear 18 in Indianapolis, you wouldn’t go wear 12 in Green Bay. It’s a sign of respect for him from me, but also at the same time, I want to write my own story here. You know, I want to see what two does for us. You know, I want to make that me.
