How Seahawks star and Tulsa native Tyler Lockett gives back to his hometown

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is known for being a role model for his young teammates and fans in many ways, whether it be through his faith, humility, or leadership. However, Lockett is candid about the fact that he hasn’t always been a good example for others.

In September, Tyler Lockett shared about an unspecified incident during his time at Carver Middle School while growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma that got him in serious trouble. The infraction was so severe that Lockett was facing a 45-day suspension, but the assistant principal, Cletta Driver was lenient, and decided to give Lockett 5 days and advise that he seek out counseling instead.
