Tyler Lockett Biography

Tyler Lockett was born September 28, 1992 and is a wide receiver, punt returner and kickoff returner for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Kansas State.

Lockett is the son and nephew of professional football players, and was a prominent member of three state high school championship teams—two in football and a third in basketball. In college he set numerous Kansas State football records and was both a 2011 All-American (as a kickoff returner) & 2014 College Football All-America Team consensus All-American selection (as a punt returner). In college, he totaled 6586 career all-purpose yards and 35 touchdowns, including 3710 yards and 29 touchdowns as a receiver.

Lockett was drafted in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft with the 69th overall selection by the Seattle Seahawks after the team traded third-, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-round picks (95th, 112th, 167th, and 181st overall) to the Washington Redskins in order to move up to #69 in order to select Lockett. In his first NFL appearance, Lockett had a 103-yard kick return touchdown against the Broncos in Seattle's preseason opener, marking the first touchdown of the season for the team. Four weeks later, in his NFL regular season debut, Lockett returned a 57-yard punt for a touchdown on his first career return, against the Rams.
