Tyler Lockett Continues To Shine in Year 8 For the last eight years, the Seahawks have been able to rely on wideout Tyler Lockett in every sense. Since being selected by Seattle in the 2015 draft, the former Kansas State Wildcat has been a consistent weapon. Now, he’s on-pace for a career year. The 3-3 Seattle Seahawks are one of the NFL’s top stories, led by a perfect blend of veteran prowess and a historic rookie class in the making. Ten-year veteran quarterback Geno Smith is in his fourth year in Seattle, completing 138-188 passes (73.4 percent) for 1,502 yards and 9 touchdowns. Smith’s primary target has been Lockett, Seattle’s unheralded star who has managed to string three-consecutive 1,000-yard seasons since 2019.
