Drew Lock would welcome Giants return despite roller coaster season

Giants quarterback Drew Lock huddles with Post columnist Steve Serby for some season-ending Q&A. Q: You were picked by the Broncos 42nd-overall in the second round of the 2019 draft.Did you think the Giants were interested in you at any point? A: We knew Kyler [Murray] was going 1 [to the Cardinals].

It was really up to the Giants at 6.They also had some picks later in that round [17 and 30] where they were talking about going defense first and then drafting a quarterback at the end.

And, in that case, I was hoping they would draft either me right there, obviously, or a defense to make Denver have to pick a quarterback at 10.I was thinking it was either going to be the Giants or Denver. Q: Denver traded back from 10 to 20. A: When the Giants picked Daniel [Jones], and I knew that Dwayne [Haskins] was going to Washington [at 15], I was sitting there like, “There’s no way Denver picks me now at that spot, they’re going to trade out, get out of it.” Now there’s no pressure to grab me anymore. Q: Denver drafted tight end Noah Fant with the 20th pick.

You blew off the party you had planned that night in Nashville. A: Yeah, we had people down there.Had a lot of family down there.

We didn’t get picked, that draft ended that night, left, got on the bus with my buddy Jack and my parents, and got back to the hotel, everybody’s in their hats, everybody’s getting picked, they’re already starting to party a little bit.All the draft picks were staying in the same hotel.

So I’m walking in and seeing Cardinal hats, Saint hats, all these hats.Then I’m walking through there and trying to dodge people giving me the, “It’s all good, you’re getting picked tomorrow.” I just ran to the elevator as fast as I could, went upstairs and cried it out a little bit, and just had to deal with it. Q: You signed a one-year deal with the Giants as a free agent in March.

How would you sum up life as a New York Giant? A: Shoot, I would say I’m very grat...
