Former Seattle Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette shared a tearful reunion this week with the paramedics who saved his life.
Lockette, who was Russell Wilson’s intended receiver on the interception that sealed the 2015 Super Bowl, suffered a career-ending injury in November 2015 at Dallas. Hit on punt coverage, Lockette suffered a separation of the top vertebra that connects the spinal cord to the head.
However, the skilled work of the Arlington, Texas paramedics who attended to him is “the reason that I’m standing here. The reason that I have the opportunity to hug my mom now. The reason that I had the opportunity to go to my daughter’s elementary school graduation,” Lockette told a group of emergency responders at the Washington Fire Chiefs convention in Spokane.
