When Ricardo Lockette stepped away from football in mid-May, he wasn't retiring due to a lack of skill or ambition. Lockette retired because he nearly died on the field last season.

During the Seahawks' Week 8 game against the Cowboys, Lockette sprinted down the field to cover a punt. He never made it down the field, because he was blindsided by the Cowboys' Jeff Heath. Lockette didn't get up. He didn't move.

Ricardo Lockette was drilled and appears to be out cold, hope he's ok pic.
