While researching another article, I started digging into Tyler Lockett’s career and was reminded of just how fortunate we are to have him playing here in the Pacific Northwest.
I was also reminded that it almost didn’t happen.
If you don’t have an Instagram account, this 2016 FG article by Danny Kelly provides the full copy-and-paste of Lockett’s emotional post. The short version is that he had some doctors at the NFL Combine that told him he might have to give up football (!!).
Thank the football gods he didn’t.
