SEATTLE (AP) — Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette says the neck injury he suffered last November against Dallas was so serious that he could have died if not for proper treatment from athletic trainers and medics on the field.
Lockette spoke to a group of paramedics and firefighters in Redmond, Washington, last week and video of his speech at Redmond Fire Station 11 was posted on Facebook. In the video, Lockette is still wearing a neck brace.
In the video, Lockette details how the hit from Dallas' Jeff Heath on a kickoff return left Lockette with severe neck damage.
