Jumbo Package: Locksley is “family” to his players

Happy Friday, everyone. The Combine is the main news of the day, but we’ll open with a nice story from Charlie Potter about Mike Locksley.

“He helped out a lot,” Ruggs told BamaOnLine in New Orleans. “He kind of doesn’t let me get down. He knows what kind of guy I am, he doesn’t let me get too far down, he keeps me up. He keeps the spirit up and never lets anybody have a bad day.”

And the wide receivers attempted to return the favor when tragedy struck the Locksley family.

Locksley’s son, Meiko Locksley, was shot and killed in Columbia, Md.
