Tyler Lockett

WR

For a 5'10" slot-sized WR drafted in the 3rd round (2015), reaching 9,395 yards across 11 seasons puts Lockett in a small club of WRs who turned compact frames into top-50 all-time production. The 13.0 career Y/R is what Seahawks fans remember him for — Wilson's go-to deep ball.

11-year career, 9,395 receiving yards, 64 TDs across 185 games — 1 of only ~44 players since 1999 with 9,000+ yards and 60+ receiving TDs.

Why it matters. For a 5'10" slot-sized WR drafted in the 3rd round (2015), reaching 9,395 yards across 11 seasons puts Lockett in a small club of WRs who turned compact frames into top-50 all-time production. The 13.0 career Y/R is what Seahawks fans remember him for — Wilson's go-to deep ball.

5 straight 1,000-yard seasons (2018-2022) with 8+ TDs each — only 7 players since 1999 have a 5-year streak of 1,000+ yards and 8+ TDs.

2022SEA1,0729

Why it matters. Sustained 1,000-yard / 8-TD production for 5 straight years is a Hall-of-Fame trajectory marker. Lockett did it on a run-first Seattle offense without ever being the team's WR1 in target share for most of that run — Metcalf joined in 2019 and out-targeted him.

SEA (2015-2024): 9,104 yards over 168 games. 2025 (TEN→LV): 291 yards across 17 games — released by Tennessee mid-season, finished on Las Vegas.

Why it matters. Lockett is essentially a one-franchise player whose 2025 vagabond season understates the bulk of his career. The split shows how dramatically a 33-year-old slot WR's role compresses once the primary QB connection ends.

2018-2022 averages: 84 catches, 1,137 yards, 9.2 TDs per season — WR1-tier production for 5 straight years.

Why it matters. Durability + sustained efficiency at that level is rare for any WR, let alone a 5'10"/180-lb slot/Z hybrid. Lockett's TD rate in this window is the league-leading peripheral metric — he was Wilson's red-zone trust target.

Caught 47 TDs from Russell Wilson — one of the most prolific WR-QB TD connections in Seahawks history (also 17 from Geno Smith).

Why it matters. For a slot-sized WR, racking up 47 TDs from one QB across 9 seasons is elite chemistry — the kind of connection that defines a franchise era. The Wilson-Lockett deep ball was the Seahawks' signature explosive play from 2015 to 2021.

15 catches, 200 yards, 3 TDs on Sunday Night Football vs Arizona (W7, 2020) — the only 200-yard receiving game by any Seahawks player since 1999.

Why it matters. This game is the all-time outlier in Seahawks WR history — no Seattle pass catcher (Steve Largent era excluded since data starts 1999) has matched 200 receiving yards in a single game. It crystallized the Wilson-Lockett chemistry into a single legendary night and is the kind of stat Seahawks fans cite to defend Lockett's Pro Bowl résumé.
