“Obvious” WR was never quite right in 2017
Tyler Lockett was everywhere Thursday as the Seahawks conducted a number of situational drills looking, finally, fully recovered from the devastating leg injury he suffered on Christmas Eve in 2016. Lockett returned to play all of last season, but HC Pete Carroll said it was obvious Lockett wasn’t quite 100 percent. But he is now, Carroll said, which could give the team’s receiving corps a significant boost. (The Seattle Times – Bob Condotta)
Nerdy Football Analysis: With Seattle overhauling its roster in the offseason and letting players like Jimmy Graham and Paul Richardson pursue greener pastures, there are opportunities aplenty. Lockett has never lacked for talent, but he has yet to top his 51-664-6 line from his rookie year in 2015. He could shoot right past that if he really looks as healthy as this report suggests he is. He’s easier worth a flier in the later rounds of most drafts.
