Family
[edit]Lockett was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma,[1] to Nicole Edwards and Kevin Lockett, who played at Kansas State from 1993 to 1996. Kevin was the school's all-time leading receiver before being passed by Tyler, who also plays in the NFL. Kevin played for four NFL teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs. Tyler's uncle, Aaron, played for Kansas State from 1998 to 2001, and is their fourth all-time leading receiver and second all-time leading punt returner. Aaron also won a Grey Cup with the BC Lions in 2006.[2] Aaron also holds Big 12 Conference records and set the school record in the 60 meters.[3][4] Tyler's younger brother, Sterling, committed to Kansas State for their 2022 recruitment class.[5] Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder had coached his father and uncle.[6]
Early life
[edit]He attended Barnard Elementary, Carver Middle School, and then Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa,[1] where he was a three-sport star in football, basketball, and track and field. He helped lead the Booker T. Washington Hornets to Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) championships in both football and basketball. As a sophomore, he made several notable contributions to the team on its way to the school's first football OSSAA championship in 24 years. As a junior, Lockett played most of the year with a broken wrist that had at first been diagnosed as a severe sprain. He suffered the injury in the second game of the football season and did not have a screw put in his wrist until after the basketball season ended.[7] Booker T. Washington compiled a 13–1 record and won the 2010 OSSAA 5A championship in football his senior year.[1][8] Lockett played several positions in high school,[6] and he was voted All-State by the Oklahoma Coaches Association as a defensive back and Class 5A All-State as a wide receiver.[9] His All-State selection got him invited to the state East–West All-Star game.[10]
In addition to football, Lockett also was a top competitor in basketball and track. In basketball, his team reached the state championship game,[11] where Booker T. Washington defeated El Reno High School 72–59 to win the 2011 OSSA 5A Championship.[12] He was voted to the all-tournament second team.[13] In track & field, Lockett was one of the state's top sprinters. He captured a regional title in the 100-meter dash at the 2011 State 5A Regional, placing first with a time of 10.85 seconds.[14] He earned third-place finishes in both the 100-meter dash (10.95 s) and the 200-meter dash (21.90 s) at the 5A state finals.[15]
Regarded as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Lockett was ranked as the number 16 player in the state of Oklahoma,[16] and the No. 170 nationally by ESPN.com.[17] According to Scout.com, he was ranked as the No. 115 cornerback in the nation.[18] He was rated as the 16th best high school football player in the state of Oklahoma class of 2011 by Rivals.com,[19] the 115th best cornerback in the national class of 2011 by Scout.com,[20] and the 170th best wide receiver in the class by ESPN.com.[17] He chose Kansas State over a scholarship offer from Kansas.

College career
[edit]Lockett received an athletic scholarship to attend Kansas State University, where he played for coach Bill Snyder's Kansas State Wildcats football team from 2011 to 2014.[21] Both his father Kevin and uncle Aaron played wide receiver for the Wildcats under Snyder.[21] The Wildcats' receivers coach Michael Smith has also coached Lockett, his father, and his uncle.[21]
Freshman season (2011)
[edit]Lockett had hoped to redshirt during the 2011 season, his freshman year, so that he could gain muscle mass in the weight room,[22] but he played as a true freshman. He got off to a modest start. Lockett only recorded four receptions for 50 yards, three rushes for nine yards, one kickoff return for ten yards, and two punt returns for a total of 13 yards in his first five games through October 8.[23] Things started to turn around on October 15 when he posted a 100-yard return of a kickoff for a touchdown against Texas Tech.[24] Over the ensuing weeks, he earned numerous Big 12 Conference honors for the 2011 team, including becoming a two-time Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. His first Player of the Week recognition came on October 24 after he produced a 251-yard all-purpose yards performance on October 22 against Kansas in the Governor's Cup that included a 97-yard kickoff return touchdown while becoming the first player in school history to return kickoffs for touchdowns in consecutive games and having a career-high five-reception, 110-yard receiving day.[25][26] His other Player of the Week recognition that season came on November 7 after a 315-yard all-purpose yard November 5 game against Oklahoma State that included an 80-yard kickoff return and three rushes for 84 yards as well as three receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown.[27][28][29] Due to what was at first an undisclosed injury,[30] he did not play in the final three games of Kansas State's regular season.[23] Later, the injury was determined to be a lacerated kidney.[31] In the four games before the injury, he had at least three receptions and 125 all-purpose yards in each game.[23]
He was the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, a second-team All-Big 12 selection as a kickoff returner/punt returner, and an honorable mention selection as a wide receiver.[32] He was a first-team All-American selection by Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation,[33][34] and a second-team All-American selection by CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated.[35][36] As a result of the extent of his honors, he was recognized as a consensus All-American by the NCAA.[37] He also picked up numerous All-Freshman honors from Sporting News, Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), CBS Sports, Rivals.com (2nd team) and College Football News (honorable mention, WR).[38][39][40][41][42] Lockett failed to play in 75 percent of the Wildcats' games to be eligible to be the NCAA statistical leader for average kickoff return yardage. Although Lockett averaged 35.19 yards per return (16 returns for 563 yards),[43] another freshman, Raheem Mostert of Purdue, led the NCAA statistical category with a 33.48 average.[44]
Sophomore season (2012)
[edit]Lockett entered the season as a preseason All-Big 12 first team selection by the Big 12 media as a kickoff returner,[45] but ESPN only listed him as an honorable mention selection, giving the first team honor to Oklahoma State's Justin Gilbert.[46] On September 15, Lockett posted his third career kickoff return touchdown against North Texas, by returning a first quarter kickoff 96 yards.[47] He earned Big 12 Conference Special Teams Player of the Week honors on September 17.[48] On October 20, he posted career highs in receptions (9), receiving yards (194), and receiving touchdowns (2) against West Virginia, giving him the fifth highest single-game receiving yardage total in school history.[49][50][51] His fourth career kickoff return touchdown occurred on November 3 against Oklahoma State.[50][52] This earned Lockett another Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week.[53] On November 15, Lockett earned a second team Academic All-Big 12 selection.[54] Lockett was a 2012 All-Big 12 honorable mention selection both at wide receiver and special teams.[55] He was also an honorable mention All-American return specialist selection by Sports Illustrated.[56]
Junior season (2013)
[edit]Prior to the 2013 season, Lockett was recognized as a 2013 Allstate/American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team nominee.[57] He opened the season with 7 receptions for 113 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown pass, against North Dakota State on August 30.[58] The following week, he added 111 yards against Louisiana–Lafayette on 8 receptions.[59] On September 21, he connected with quarterback Jake Waters for 13 receptions for 237 yards against Texas in the 2013 Big 12 Conference season opener and had an additional 96 return yards on kickoffs.[60] 237 receiving yards is a Kansas State single-game record,[61] surpassing Jordy Nelson's 214 yards against Iowa State on November 3, 2007.[62][63] This receiving yardage total was the 2nd highest in the first four weeks of the season behind Texas A&M wideout Mike Evans' 297 yards.[64] Lockett suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of the October 5 contest against Oklahoma State.[65] He returned to the lineup on October 26, to post three touchdowns and 111 yards on 8 receptions and help Kansas State achieve its first Big 12 win of the season against West Virginia.[66] On November 16, Lockett posted 8 receptions for 123 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown reception against TCU.[67] One week later, Lockett caught 12 passes for 278 yards and 3 touchdowns against Oklahoma. He also returned 5 kickoffs for 162 yards.[68] Lockett broke his own Kansas State single-game record for receiving yards and surpassed Darren Sproles for the Kansas State single-game all-purpose yards record (440).[69][70] Lockett was named the Big 12 Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on November 25 upon becoming the all-time Kansas state leader in career kickoff return yards with 1,780. His 278 single-game receiving yards was fourth in Big 12 history and his 440 single-game all-purpose yards ranked second in Big 12 history and fifth in FBS history.[71][72] Following the season, he was recognized as an All-Big 12 Conference first team selection as both a wide receiver and an all-purpose player.[73] FWAA named him second team All-American at wide receiver and Sports Illustrated gave him honorable mention All-American recognition as an all-purpose player.[74][75] In the December 28, 2013 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, Lockett had 10 receptions for 116 yards and 3 touchdowns against Michigan.[76] Lockett's performance marked the most receptions by any receiver in a Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl and the most receptions in a Bowl game by a Kansas State receiver.[77]
Senior season (2014)
[edit]Lockett entered his senior season as a preseason All-Big 12 selection as well as a Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, Paul Hornung Award, and Biletnikoff Award watchlist candidate.[78][79][80][81][82] On September 25, he was named one of 62 FBS semifinalists for the William V.

With just a bowl game remaining, Lockett's career total of 3,546 receiving yards ranked sixth in Big 12 Conference history.[99] He added 13 receptions for 164 receiving yards and two touchdowns against UCLA in the 2015 Alamo Bowl.[100] In the game, Lockett had a 41-yard punt return and had a 72-yard punt return touchdown negated due to a holding penalty.[101][102][103] He established Alamo Bowl records for receptions (13) and all-purpose yards (249).[104] He was recognized as the game's Sportsmanship MVP.[105]
On December 10, the Big 12 coaches selected Lockett as a repeat All Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year and as a first team wide receiver.[106] ESPN selected Lockett as the All-Big 12 first team all purpose player while the Associated Press (AP) named him a first team All-Big 12 wide receiver.[107][108] Lockett was an all-purpose first team selection to the 2014 College Football All-America Team by ESPN,[109] CBS Sports,[110] Scout.com,[111] American Football Coaches Association,[112] and Sports Illustrated.[113] He was a first team punt returner selection by the Football Writers Association of America.[114] He was a second team selection by USA Today at wide receiver,[115] Walter Camp Foundation at return specialist,[116] and AP as an all-purpose player.[117] He earned the school's eleventh consensus All-American recognition.[118] Lockett was selected to play in the 2015 Senior Bowl.[119] He was recognized as the 2014 Big 12 Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year.[120] He was recognized as one of five First team Senior All-Americans from the 2014 Senior CLASS Award candidates.[121] Lockett was recognized with the Jet Award.[122]

This totals 6,586 career All-purpose yards.[123] Although the National Collegiate Athletic Association officially recognizes 1.2 punt returns per game as the qualifying minimum threshold,[124] some sources consider 1 punt return per game as the qualifying minimum, and thus Richard Leonard of Florida International is the 2014 punt return average leader by those sources.[125] Lockett's senior season totals led the Big 12 Conference in receiving yards and the nation in punt return average.[126][127]

Tyler Lockett
View on GrokipediaEarly life and family
Family background
Tyler Lockett was born on September 28, 1992, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Kevin Lockett and Nicole Edwards.[3] Raised in a football-centric household, he grew up immersed in the sport through his family's deep athletic legacy.[13] His father, Kevin Lockett, was a wide receiver who played collegiately at Kansas State University from 1993 to 1996 before enjoying a professional career in the NFL, primarily with the Kansas City Chiefs from 1997 to 2000.[14] Kevin's experiences and guidance sparked Tyler's early passion for football, teaching him fundamentals and instilling a strong work ethic.[13] Similarly, his uncle Aaron Lockett, Kevin's younger brother, followed a parallel path, starring at Kansas State from 1998 to 2001 and then playing as a wide receiver and return specialist for the San Diego Chargers in the NFL from 2004 to 2008. Aaron provided additional mentorship, sharing insights on route-running and game preparation that influenced Tyler's development as a receiver.[15] Their grandfather, John Lockett, further exemplified the family's athletic roots as an accomplished player at St. Augustine's University in Raleigh, North Carolina, during the mid-20th century.[16] The Lockett family prioritized both education and multifaceted athletic involvement, encouraging Tyler to excel academically while pursuing multiple sports. He participated in track and field, basketball, and football from a young age, honing his speed and versatility under the guidance of his relatives.[17] This balanced upbringing, combined with the mentorship from his father and uncle, laid the foundation for his transition to organized high school sports.[13]High school career
Lockett attended Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he participated in football, basketball, and track, showcasing his athletic versatility early on. Drawing from a family athletic legacy—his father Kevin and uncle Aaron both starred at the same school before college careers at Kansas State—Lockett honed skills across sports that emphasized speed and agility.[18][15] In football, Lockett served as a wide receiver and return specialist, contributing significantly to the team's offensive and special teams efforts. During his senior season in 2010, he recorded 42 receptions for 765 yards and 13 touchdowns, while also handling kickoff and punt returns; these performances helped Booker T. Washington compile a 13-1 record and win the OSSAA Class 5A state championship. For his efforts, he earned first-team All-State honors from the Oklahoma Coaches Association.[6][19][20] Lockett's track prowess complemented his football speed, as he qualified for the state meet in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes, finishing third in both events at the 2011 OSSAA Class 5A championships.[21] As a point guard on the basketball team, Lockett provided key playmaking and contributed to the Hornets' success, including a run to the 2011 OSSAA Class 5A state championship, where they defeated El Reno High School 72-59 for the title.[22][23] Rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports, Lockett committed to Kansas State University in February 2011.[24]College career
Freshman season (2011)
As a true freshman at Kansas State University in 2011, Tyler Lockett quickly transitioned to college football, primarily serving as a return specialist while emerging as a wide receiver in head coach Bill Snyder's offense. Although initially considered for a redshirt season, Lockett saw action in nine games before suffering a season-ending injury, contributing significantly to the Wildcats' 10-3 campaign that included a berth in the Cotton Bowl. His high school prowess in returns from Booker T. Washington High School carried over effectively, allowing him to make an immediate impact on special teams.[25] Lockett recorded 18 receptions for 246 yards and three touchdowns as a receiver, averaging 13.7 yards per catch, which highlighted his developing role in the passing game despite limited opportunities due to the injury. On special teams, he excelled as a kickoff returner with 16 returns for 563 yards—an FBS-leading 35.2 yards per return—including two touchdowns, while also handling six punt returns for 38 yards. These performances underscored his explosive playmaking ability, amassing 957 all-purpose yards overall.[7][26] Lockett's standout efforts earned him the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year award, making him the first Kansas State player to receive the honor, along with second-team All-Big 12 honors as a return specialist and votes for Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year. He was also named a first-team All-American kickoff returner by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, becoming the only true freshman on the team to achieve such recognition. Additionally, he garnered Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors once during the season.[27][28][29] In his debut against Eastern Illinois on September 3, Lockett hauled in four receptions for 50 yards, signaling his potential as a receiver. He made crucial contributions in key victories, including a 28-24 upset over No. 15 Miami on September 24, where he scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 22-yard reception, and a 59-21 rout of rival Kansas on October 22, tallying 251 all-purpose yards with a 97-yard kickoff return touchdown that opened the second half. Another highlight came in a 41-34 win at Texas Tech on October 15, featuring a 100-yard kickoff return for a score early in the second quarter.[30][31][32]Sophomore season (2012)
In his sophomore season, Tyler Lockett continued to develop as a key contributor for the Kansas State Wildcats, who finished with an 8-5 record, including a victory in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl. Building on his freshman-year accolades in special teams, Lockett expanded his role on offense while maintaining his return prowess. He appeared in all 13 games, starting five, and emerged as a reliable target in the passing game for quarterback Collin Klein. Lockett recorded 44 receptions for 687 yards, averaging 15.6 yards per catch, and scored four touchdowns, showcasing his growth as a deep threat and red-zone option. His receiving production was particularly notable in big games, such as against Texas, where he hauled in eight catches for 121 yards, helping secure a 24-17 upset win. On special teams, he remained a dynamic returner, logging 3 punt returns for 44 yards and 21 kickoff returns for 688 yards, which added significant field position advantages for the Wildcats. Lockett's versatility earned him recognition as a second-team All-Big 12 selection as a wide receiver by the Associated Press, highlighting his offensive emergence. He also received honorable mention for Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year, a nod to his repeated impact in that phase after his freshman honors. His touchdown reception in the Pinstripe Bowl—a 21-19 win over Rutgers—underscored his clutch performance, as he caught a 4-yard scoring pass from Klein to help seal the victory.Junior season (2013)
In his junior season, Lockett emerged as a key leader for the Kansas State Wildcats, who finished with an 8-5 overall record amid offensive inconsistencies and injuries to other skill players. Starting all 12 games he appeared in (missing the matchup against Texas due to injury), Lockett delivered a breakout performance as a receiver, recording 81 receptions for 1,262 yards with an average of 15.6 yards per catch and 11 touchdowns.[7] His production provided a reliable big-play threat, helping to stabilize the passing attack under quarterback Jake Waters and contributing to several high-scoring conference wins.[33] Lockett's versatility extended to special teams, where he continued his reliability as a return specialist from previous seasons, logging 2 punt returns for 4 yards and 22 kickoff returns for 583 yards, though without scores on returns that year.[7] Standout performances highlighted his impact, including a school-record 278 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 12 catches against Oklahoma, setting a single-game benchmark and totaling 440 all-purpose yards in that contest.[34] He also eclipsed 100 receiving yards versus West Virginia with eight catches for 111 yards and three scores, powering a 35-21 victory. In the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against Michigan, Lockett capped the season with 10 receptions for 116 yards and three touchdowns, earning Offensive MVP honors in the 31-14 win. These efforts underscored his efficiency and clutch play amid team challenges. For his contributions, Lockett earned first-team All-Big 12 honors as both a wide receiver and kick returner, while also being named the conference's Special Teams Player of the Year by the coaches—the second Kansas State receiver to win that award.[35]Senior season (2014)
Lockett capped his college career in 2014 as Kansas State's unquestioned top offensive threat and dynamic returner, starting all 13 games and serving as the focal point of the passing attack under new coordinator Matt Wells.[7] His receiving production highlighted a progression from prior seasons, where he had established himself as a consistent big-play threat, now elevating to national prominence with 106 receptions for 1,515 yards (14.3 yards per catch average) and 11 touchdowns, leading the Big 12 Conference in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.[7][36] On special teams, Lockett excelled as the primary punt returner with 21 returns for 402 yards (19.1 average) and 2 touchdowns—leading the nation in punt return average—while adding 18 kickoff returns for 362 yards (20.1 average).[7] Among his standout performances, Lockett erupted for 10 receptions and 196 yards with 2 touchdowns receiving, plus a 43-yard punt return touchdown, in a 26-20 road win over West Virginia, totaling 321 all-purpose yards.[37] In the Alamo Bowl against UCLA, he hauled in a bowl-record 13 receptions for 164 yards and 2 touchdowns, while contributing 85 return yards (44 on punts, 41 on kickoffs), though Kansas State fell 40-35.[38] Lockett's dominant senior campaign earned him first-team All-Big 12 honors as a wide receiver and special teams player, marking his fourth consecutive All-Big 12 selection.[36] He was named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, recognizing the nation's top receiver, and received consensus All-American honorable mention honors as a receiver, while earning first-team All-American recognition as an all-purpose player and return specialist from multiple outlets, including CBSSports.com.[39][25]College statistics
Lockett's college career at Kansas State featured exceptional production as a receiver, rusher, and return specialist, culminating in school records for receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. His career totals include 249 receptions for 3,710 yards and 29 receiving touchdowns; 22 rushes for 192 yards; 32 punt returns for 488 yards and 2 punt return touchdowns; and 77 kickoff returns for 2,196 yards and 4 kickoff return touchdowns. Overall, he amassed 6,586 all-purpose yards and 35 touchdowns across 47 games, with postseason statistics incorporated into the respective season totals.[7][25][40]Receiving Statistics

Professional career
Pre-draft process
Following his standout senior season at Kansas State, where he recorded 1,515 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns, Tyler Lockett entered the NFL Draft process as a projected mid-round pick, valued for his college production and return specialist potential despite concerns over his smaller frame.[1][42] Lockett participated in the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine, where he measured 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed 182 pounds.[43] He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds, recorded a vertical jump of 35.5 inches, and achieved a broad jump of 10 feet 1 inch.[43] These athletic metrics highlighted his quickness and explosiveness, though scouts noted his size as a potential limitation against larger NFL defenders.[44] At Kansas State's Pro Day, Lockett focused on demonstrating his route-running precision and catching ability rather than re-testing speed events already covered at the Combine.[45] His performance there, combined with his versatility as a punt and kick returner, reinforced his appeal as a high-value special teams contributor with slot receiver upside.[20] The Seattle Seahawks selected Lockett in the third round, 69th overall, of the 2015 NFL Draft after trading up to acquire him. He signed a four-year rookie contract worth $3,318,751, including a signing bonus of $786,751.2015 season
Lockett entered the NFL as a third-round draft pick (69th overall) by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2015 NFL Draft, where his college-measured 4.42-second 40-yard dash and exceptional agility contributed to his immediate role as both a wide receiver and special teams returner.[46] In his rookie season, he appeared in all 16 games, starting 8, and quickly emerged as a dynamic playmaker for the Seahawks.[1] As a receiver, Lockett recorded 51 receptions for 664 yards, averaging 13.0 yards per catch, and scored 6 touchdowns, leading the team in receiving scores.[47] His breakout came early, highlighted by a 57-yard punt return touchdown on his first NFL punt return in Week 1 against the St. Louis Rams, setting the tone for his special teams impact.[48] In Week 3 versus the Chicago Bears, he exploded for a 105-yard kickoff return touchdown to open the second half, contributing to a 26-0 shutout victory. Lockett's receiving touchdowns included key scores against opponents like the Cincinnati Bengals (Week 5, 19 yards) and San Francisco 49ers (Week 11, 24 yards), showcasing his speed and route-running precision in the Seahawks' offense.[49] On special teams, Lockett excelled as the primary returner, handling 40 punt returns for 379 yards (9.5 average) and 1 touchdown, along with 33 kickoff returns for 852 yards (25.8 average) and 1 touchdown.[50] These efforts earned him recognition as one of the league's top rookies, including selection to the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) All-Rookie Team. In the playoffs, Lockett made his postseason debut in the NFC Wild Card game against the Minnesota Vikings, catching 1 pass for 33 yards in a 10-9 win, before the Seahawks' season ended in the divisional round.[51]2016 season
Lockett's second NFL season with the Seattle Seahawks was hampered by injuries, resulting in reduced production compared to his rookie year, though he still provided solid contributions as a receiver and return specialist. He appeared in 15 games, starting 9, and recorded 41 receptions for 597 yards with an average of 14.6 yards per catch and 1 receiving touchdown, along with 6 rushes for 114 yards and 1 rushing touchdown.[1] A knee sprain suffered in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams limited his explosiveness early in the year, though he did not miss any games due to the injury.[52] His season ended prematurely with a severe leg injury—a fractured tibia and fibula—in Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals, requiring surgery and causing him to miss the playoffs.[53] Despite the setbacks, Lockett had standout moments, including a career-high 107 receiving yards on 5 catches in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers, where he also scored his lone receiving touchdown of the season. His longest reception of the year was a 57-yard catch in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills. On special teams, Lockett handled punt returns in all 15 games, totaling 29 returns for 243 yards with an 8.4-yard average and a long of 62 yards, though he did not score on returns that year.[1] Entering the season on his four-year rookie contract signed after being selected in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Lockett was secured through 2018 with a base salary of $540,000 in 2016.2017 season
Lockett returned from a leg injury that sidelined him for the majority of the 2016 season, making his first appearance of 2017 in the Seahawks' season opener against the Green Bay Packers, where he recorded three receptions for 33 yards.[54] Over the regular season, he appeared in all 16 games with eight starts, registering 45 receptions for 555 yards at an average of 12.3 yards per catch and two touchdowns.[55] He also contributed on special teams with 12 punt returns for 81 yards (6.8 average) and 27 kickoff returns for 682 yards (25.3 average).[1] Lockett's touchdowns came in Week 8 against the Houston Texans, where he hauled in eight catches for 121 yards and a score in a 41-38 Seahawks victory, and in Week 14 at the Jacksonville Jaguars, snagging three receptions for 74 yards including a 74-yard touchdown on a deep ball that helped secure a 30-24 win. His longest reception of the season was that 74-yard touchdown against Jacksonville.[55] On special teams, Lockett earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors in Week 11 after returning five kickoffs for 197 yards, including a 57-yard long, during a 24-7 win over the San Francisco 49ers.[10] He finished the year as a second-team All-Pro selection for his return work.[46] The Seahawks ended the season 9-7 but missed the playoffs on tiebreakers.[56]2018 season
In 2018, Tyler Lockett solidified his role as a dynamic deep threat in the Seattle Seahawks' offense, which underwent adjustments following the trade of tight end Jimmy Graham and under new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. Starting 14 of 16 games, he recorded 57 receptions for 965 yards at an average of 16.9 yards per catch, along with a career-high 10 touchdowns. Lockett's efficiency stood out, as quarterback Russell Wilson achieved a perfect 158.3 passer rating on passes targeted to him, completing all 57 attempts for zero interceptions. These figures marked a significant leap from his previous seasons, highlighting his growth into a reliable red-zone and big-play option amid the team's emphasis on a balanced attack led by running back Chris Carson. Lockett's reduced involvement in the return game reflected the Seahawks' increased depth at those positions, with J.D. McKissic handling primary punt return duties; Lockett logged 25 punt returns for 143 yards (5.7 average) and 19 kickoff returns for 493 yards (25.9 average), but no return touchdowns. He delivered several standout performances during the regular season, including two games with over 100 receiving yards against divisional rival San Francisco—eight catches for 133 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 loss on November 25 (Week 13), and nine receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown in a 26-23 comeback win on December 16 (Week 15). Other key contributions included two touchdowns on five catches for 98 yards in a 27-3 rout of the Oakland Raiders on October 14 (Week 6), and dual scores in victories over the Green Bay Packers (November 15, Week 11) and Minnesota Vikings (December 10, Week 14). The Seahawks finished 10-6 and earned a Wild Card berth, where Lockett played a pivotal role in the 24-22 divisional playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys on January 5, 2019, hauling in four passes for 120 yards. His production dipped in the subsequent divisional round defeat to the New Orleans Saints (23-20 on January 13), limited to one reception for 11 yards in a contest marked by controversial officiating and a missed field goal.2019 season
In 2019, Tyler Lockett enjoyed a breakout professional season with the Seattle Seahawks, earning his second Pro Bowl selection after an impressive rookie-year appearance in 2015. Starting all 16 games, he recorded 82 receptions for 1,057 receiving yards at an average of 12.9 yards per catch, along with 8 touchdowns—his first career 1,000-yard receiving campaign that marked the beginning of four straight such seasons from 2019 to 2022.[55][1] Lockett's efficiency and big-play ability were evident in key performances, such as his 11-catch, 154-yard, 1-touchdown effort against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3, helping solidify his role as a primary target for quarterback Russell Wilson.[57] The wide receiver's consistent production, including multiple games surpassing 100 receiving yards like his 100-yard outing versus the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7, contributed to the Seahawks' 11-5 regular-season record and NFC West title.[58] This success built on his 2018 touchdown surge, which had been rewarded with a three-year, $31.8 million contract extension signed the prior August. In the playoffs, Lockett helped the Seahawks advance with a 17-9 Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, where he hauled in 4 passes for 62 yards.[59] Their postseason run ended the following week in a 28-23 Divisional Round loss to the Green Bay Packers, during which Lockett tallied 9 receptions for 136 yards and 1 touchdown. Overall in the 2019 playoffs, he amassed 13 catches for 198 yards and 1 score across two games.[60]2020 season
In the 2020 season, which featured a shortened offseason and training camp due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tyler Lockett emerged as a primary target for quarterback Russell Wilson, starting all 16 games for the Seattle Seahawks. He recorded 100 receptions for 1,054 yards with an average of 10.5 yards per catch and a career-high 10 touchdowns, leading the team in receptions while complementing teammate D. K. Metcalf's league-leading 1,303 receiving yards.[1][55] Lockett achieved several personal milestones during the year, including his first 100-reception season and surpassing 4,000 career receiving yards, bringing his total to over 4,800 by season's end. Building on his three-year contract extension signed after the 2019 campaign, he demonstrated consistency as a slot receiver, contributing to the Seahawks' 12-4 regular-season record and NFC West title.[1] One standout performance came in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals, where Lockett hauled in a career-high 15 receptions for 200 yards and three touchdowns, including scores of 3, 15, and 22 yards, in a high-scoring 37-34 overtime loss that highlighted his big-play ability.[61] In the playoffs, Lockett recorded 4 receptions for 43 yards in the NFC Wild Card Round, a 30-20 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams, as the Seahawks' offense struggled against the Rams' defense led by Aaron Donald.[62][61]2021 season
In 2021, Tyler Lockett built on his career-high performance from the previous season by posting new personal bests in receiving yards and average while serving as the Seattle Seahawks' primary wide receiver. He appeared in 16 games, starting all of them, and recorded 73 receptions for 1,175 yards with an average of 16.1 yards per catch and 8 receiving touchdowns.[1] Lockett's efficiency stood out amid a transitional year for the Seahawks' offense, which struggled overall under quarterback Russell Wilson in his final season with the team before being traded to the Denver Broncos in the 2022 offseason; Lockett ranked ninth in the NFL in receiving yards despite the team's 3-14 record.[55][63] Lockett missed only one game that season, placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams, but returned the following week to help stabilize the passing attack.[64] His consistency was evident in several standout outings, including a December 5 home win over the San Francisco 49ers, where he hauled in 7 receptions for 68 yards and a 12-yard touchdown reception from Wilson that gave Seattle a 27-23 lead in the third quarter.[65] Another highlight came in Week 4 at San Francisco on October 3, though limited to 4 catches for 24 yards in a narrow 28-21 victory, showcasing his ability to contribute in tight divisional matchups. The Seahawks failed to qualify for the playoffs after finishing last in the NFC West, ending Lockett's postseason streak from prior years. His 1,175 receiving yards marked the second straight season over 1,000 yards and underscored his role as a reliable deep threat, with four games exceeding 100 yards including a season-high 107 targets overall.2022 season
Lockett had a productive 2022 season with the Seattle Seahawks, starting all 16 games and finishing with 84 receptions for 1,033 yards at an average of 12.3 yards per catch, along with nine receiving touchdowns.[1] This output contributed significantly to the Seahawks' 9–8 record and their return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020, as Lockett provided a reliable target for quarterback Geno Smith in a revamped passing attack.[47] His performance demonstrated consistency following a 2021 campaign hampered by injuries, where he still managed 1,175 yards but with fewer opportunities late in the year.[47] One of Lockett's standout performances came in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, where he hauled in nine passes for 128 yards and a touchdown, including a crucial third-down conversion that helped set up the game-winning field goal in a 27–24 victory.[66] That game also saw Lockett move into third place on the Seahawks' all-time receptions list, surpassing Brian Blades with 299 career catches at the time.[67] Overall, the season pushed his career receiving yards beyond 7,000, solidifying his role as one of the franchise's top wideouts.[47] In the playoffs, the Seahawks hosted the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wild Card round but fell 41–23. Lockett recorded six receptions for 39 yards in the loss, serving as Seattle's leading receiver despite the team's offensive struggles against San Francisco's defense.[68]2023 season
In the 2023 season, Tyler Lockett served as a starting wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks in all 17 games, recording 79 receptions for 894 yards with an average of 11.3 yards per catch and five touchdowns.[1] His performance contributed to a Seahawks offense that finished the year with a 9-8 record but ultimately missed the playoffs after being eliminated in Week 18 following a loss to the Los Angeles Rams.[69] One of Lockett's standout moments came in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions, where he caught a three-yard game-winning touchdown pass from Geno Smith in overtime, securing a 37-31 victory after stretching to reach the pylon.[70] This play highlighted his veteran reliability in critical situations, though his overall yardage total marked a decline from his 2022 output amid a rebuilding phase for the team. Lockett did not record any 100-yard receiving games during the season, with his longest reception measuring 37 yards.[1] To help manage the team's salary cap during the offseason, Lockett agreed to a contract restructure in May 2023, converting $8.535 million of his base salary into a signing bonus, which created approximately $5.69 million in cap space for Seattle.[71] This adjustment allowed the Seahawks to allocate resources toward roster improvements while retaining Lockett as a key component of their passing attack.[72]2024 season
In the 2024 season, Tyler Lockett appeared in all 17 games for the Seattle Seahawks, starting 14 of them, while his role in the offense diminished compared to prior years following a contract restructuring in 2023. He finished with 49 receptions on 74 targets for 600 receiving yards, averaging 12.2 yards per catch, and scored 2 touchdowns—his lowest output since 2017.[1][55][51] Lockett's performance reflected a reduced emphasis on deep threats amid the emergence of younger receivers, resulting in limited production across most games; his season-high came in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, where he caught 6 passes for 77 yards to help secure a 26–20 victory. He also notched touchdowns in Weeks 6 and 9 against divisional rivals, but otherwise averaged under 40 yards per game. During the year, Lockett reached a career milestone by adding to his totals and cementing his status as the second-leading receiver in Seahawks history with 8,594 career receiving yards, trailing only Steve Largent's 13,089.[73][10][74] The Seahawks released Lockett on March 5, 2025, after a decade with the franchise, as part of cost-cutting measures to free up salary cap space ahead of the new league year. The move saved approximately $17 million in cap space but carried a $13.895 million dead cap hit, ending Lockett's tenure as a key contributor to three playoff appearances and multiple Pro Bowl nods.[75][76][77]2025 season: Tennessee Titans
Following his release from the Seattle Seahawks in March 2025, veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Tennessee Titans in free agency on April 23, 2025.[78][79] The deal, which included incentives up to $6 million, aimed to bolster the Titans' receiving corps with Lockett's experience amid a rebuilding phase.[78] Lockett appeared in seven games for the Titans, starting one, and recorded 10 receptions for 70 yards, averaging 7.0 yards per catch, with no touchdowns.[80][81] As a depth receiver behind primary targets like Calvin Ridley and emerging talents such as Elic Ayomanor, Lockett saw minimal offensive snaps—totaling 190 across the stint—reflecting the team's youth movement and emphasis on developing younger players like Chimere Dike.[81][82][83] Amid low production and a diminished role, Lockett requested his release from the Titans, which was granted on October 20, 2025, after the team's Week 7 loss.[80][84] This marked the end of his brief tenure in Tennessee, where the 33-year-old struggled to secure consistent targets in an offense prioritizing rebuild assets.[85]2025 season: Las Vegas Raiders
On October 27, 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders signed veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett to the remainder of his one-year contract following his release by the Tennessee Titans, marking his third team in the 2025 season.[86][81] The move reunited Lockett with former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, now in his first year as Raiders head coach, and quarterback Geno Smith, whom the Raiders had acquired via trade from Seattle earlier in the season.[87][88] Lockett, entering his 11th NFL season at age 33, was brought in to provide depth at wide receiver and serve as a mentor to younger players while operating primarily as a slot option in the Raiders' offense.[12] Lockett made his Raiders debut on November 2, 2025, against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he was targeted once but recorded no receptions while playing 19 snaps as the WR3 behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker.[89] In his second game with the team, a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Denver Broncos on November 7, Lockett emerged as the Raiders' leading receiver, hauling in five of six targets for 44 yards on passes from Smith, including a key 6-yard conversion on third down.[90][91] Through these two games as of November 7, 2025, Lockett had accumulated 5 receptions for 44 yards, averaging 8.8 yards per catch, with no touchdowns, contributing modestly to a Raiders offense struggling in a 2-7 start under Carroll.[1] His early integration highlighted his value as a reliable veteran presence amid the team's wide receiver injuries and inconsistencies.[92]Career statistics and records
