"Franchise QB level response" - NFL fans react to Seahawks QB's savage take on US Open
The US Open Twitter account recently had a notable response to an NFL fan's take that tennis isn't a sport. The fan in question responded to a SportsCenter tweet in which they shared an incredible tennis highlight. The US Open didn't take too kindly to it.
The fan has the Seattle Seahawks in their bio, a fact that the US Open ruthlessly exploited. The Open cited how the fan is about to have to watch Drew Lock play quarterback for them after trading away Russell Wilson.
Drew Lock has responded and has largely taken the high road, getting a lot of praise for it in NFL circles.

Drew Lock and the US Open seem to have no beef even though the tennis account did call him out initially.
Drew Lock had a subpar start to his NFL career in Denver.
Drew Lock was drafted out of Missouri in the 2019 draft. As a second-round pick, he was projected to potentially be the Broncos' franchise quarterback they had been looking for since Peyton Manning retired.
In his rookie season, Lock only started five NFL games. He finished the season with a completion percentage of 64.1% for 1,020 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions. The Broncos went 4-1 in those games, providing hope that Lock was the one they needed.
That success did not translate to the following season, though. The Broncos went 4-9 with Lock under center. He finished completing 57.3% of his passes for 2,933 yards, 16 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
In 2021, the Broncos traded for Teddy Bridgewater and Lock played just six games during which the Broncos went 1-5. Lock had two touchdowns and two interceptions in those games.
He now gets a fresh start in Seattle where he replaces franchise icon Russell Wilson.
