Tyler Lockett was one of the best Return Specialists in college when he played at Kansas State, and he parlayed that into the same status in the NFL.

Tyler Lockett played the first eight years of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, who drafted him in the 3rd Round in 2015. He was a Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro as a rookie, and two years later, he led the league in Kick Return Yards. 

Lockett would later emerge as one of the top Wide Receivers for Seattle.  He had his first 1,000 Yard season in 2019, and he was within 35 Yards of that plateau the year before.  Lockett again reached 1,000 Yards from the air in 2020, falling three of the 1,057 he had in 2019.  He broke 1,100 Yards for the first time in 2021 (1,175) and had his fourth straight four-digit Yard season in 2022 with 1,033.

Lockett played two more seasons with the Seahawks, compiling 8,594 Receiving Yards with 61 Touchdowns and 13,125 All-Purpose Yards.  He signed with the Tennessee Titans as a Free Agent in the 2025 Season.
