The Seattle Seahawks were forced to part ways with veteran wide receiver Doug Baldwin earlier this offseason due to some lingering injury troubles. As a result, fellow wide receiver Tyler Lockett will most certainly be called upon in a big way going forward — both on and off the field.
“It’s all about how you approach it,” Lockett recently told the team's official website. “Obviously, it could be very uncomfortable, but every situation is uncomfortable whenever you haven’t experienced it before. That’s basically what growth is—it’s something that you’ve got to get accustomed to. People who have kids, they never were ready to be dads. You can prepare and you can do everything that you can, but until you finally get that kid in front of you, it’s a learning experience and it’s something that you learn each and every day. And that’s kind of how I view this approach when it comes to leadership, when it comes to growing as a man and growing as a player.”
Lockett will more than likely remain the team's top option at wide receiver as the 2019-20 campaign approaches.
“Every single day, something new is going to be able to happen, so I have to be able to approach it in a way of just being able to go with the flow,” Lockett added. “And that’s kind of the way that I’ve just been trying to develop my mindset is to go with the flow. Don’t expect too little, don’t expect too much. See what presents itself in front of you and then respond accordingly.”
Seattle will be forced to compete with both the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West, which may make things complicated for the new-look Seahawks.
