Monday Round-Up: MMQB says rookie Wide Receiver Tyler Lockett will be "feeling the heat" in training camp

A daily link round-up of what's "out there" about your Seattle Seahawks

!

Good morning, 12s.

Here's a look at what's "out there" for today—Monday, July 20—about your Seattle Seahawks:

Tyler Lockett among those facing pressure in training camp

Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback column looks at one player on every NFL team that in his view will be "feeling the heat" when training camps open next week. When it comes to Seattle, King points to rookie receiver Tyler Lockett, noting that the Seahawks, a team known for moving back in the draft, traded away four picks in order to move up and pick Lockett in the third round.

King writes: "GM John Schneider traded four picks between 95 and 181 to deal for Lockett at number 69. With how good the Seahawks have been making late picks, that's a lot of draft capital. Lockett's Kansas State numbers (last two years: 187 catches, 22 TDs, 14.9-yard average per catch) have Seattle conjuring thoughts of the next Golden Tate."

In the same MMQB column, King also has the Seahawks at No. 7 in his list of Top 10 camp stories.
