1. Another watch list to watch for Drew Lock
This time, it’s the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list. It’s the fourth watch list for Drew Lock, which I imagine ranks pretty high up in the most-watched watch list players for 2018, but I really don’t care to run all the names, to be honest.

3. Mitch Morse: Still a really good guy
Here’s another example of the fact that former Missouri lineman — and current Kansas City Chiefs’ center — Mitch Morse is just a really good human being:
Mitch Morse gives his gloves to military kid and walks over to 75 or so fans that stayed in the rain and thanks them and signs. All alone.

I say this without hesitation — Morse was one of the most generous, caring players I covered during my time as a Missouri beat writer. Great to see that he’s still the same person in the NFL, though there wasn’t much doubt that he would be.
