The Seahawks’ Ricardo Lockette announces his retirement from football and says he wants to bring the same passion he had for football to underdogs — bullied children and abused women.
Ricardo Lockette’s love of football, and reverence for the Seahawks, poured forth in every emotional utterance at his farewell news conference.
He talked eloquently of how much he’ll miss not just the action on the field, but the camaraderie that surrounds it. Like the pregame huddle, the entire squad connecting as one, jumping in unison as the crowd roars.
“Hair is standing up on my skin and chill bumps, but there’s no fear,’’ Lockette said, seemingly transporting himself back to the moment even as he sat at the podium, surrounded by family.
