Why Tyler Lockett Is the Most Underrated

Wide Receiver in the NFL!
Carter Grusz

Tyler’s Track Record

His Stats are unbelievable!
Tyler Lockett ever since being drafted in
the 3rd round and 69th overall by the
Seahawks in the 2015 NFL Draft has been
a very productive wide receiver. Originally
Tyler Lockett was drafted by the Seahawks
out of Kansas St to be their new kick
returner. Ever since he first stepped into
the building for the Seattle Seahawks, he
has been nothing but magic ever since. In
his first career game Tyler Lockett
returned a punt by Johnny Hekker 57 yards
to the house. It was his first ever punt
return but it certainly marked the
beginning of his talent when returning the
football. Throughout his rookie season
Tyler Lockett amassed a grand total of 379 Tyler Lockett proceeds to catch a pass during an NFL game!
total punt return yards and 852 kick return
yards for a grand total of 1,231 return
yards on 73 total returns. He also scored 2 Carter Grusz

107 73 1175 yds 16.1 8 TD 66 38 410 yds 10.8 1 TD

According to the stat comparison here Tyler Lockett and Allen Robinson have
had very similar careers with Allen Robinson beating Tyler Lockett 18-17 in 35
possible boxes. One stat that Tyler Lockett wins in consistently is touchdowns in
each season. One stat Allen Robinson wins in consistently is targets in each
season. Maybe one slight disadvantage Allen Robinson might have here is the
fact that he has had to play with mostly below average-average quarterbacks.
However, one disadvantage Tyler Lockett has here as well is the fact that Pete
Carroll has a limited capacity when it comes to running the offense and this as a
result doesn’t let Tyler Lockett make as many great plays as he could possibly
make. However, if this stat sheet proved anything it’s the fact that these two
wide receivers are basically clones of one another.

According to the stat comparison here Tyler Lockett and Jarvis Landry have
both had very similar careers with Jarvis Landry beating Tyler Lockett 19-16 in
35 possible boxes. One stat that Tyler Lockett wins in consistently is
touchdowns in each season. On the other hand, one stat Jarvis Landry wins in
consistently is receiving yards in each season. One disadvantage that Jarvis
Landry has here is that ever since he was traded to the Cleveland Browns he has
been used incorrectly and as a result it’s had a negative impact on his play. One
disadvantage Tyler Lockett has here is that he is currently in an offensive system
which currently relies on the running game and not the passing game, so the
amount of plays Tyler Lockett has been able to make has been a little limited
because of it. If this stat sheet proved anything it’s the fact that these two wide
receivers are basically clones of one another.

consistently win in any statistic. One disadvantage that DeVante Parker has is
that he’s had to work with many different quarterbacks and that has led to an up
and down career for him so far. One disadvantage that Tyler Lockett has is that
he has to work in a run first offense so meaning his ability to make plays each
season is sometimes limited to a certain extent. If this stat sheet proved anything
it’s the fact that these two wide receivers may have some similar traits but
overall, Tyler Lockett is clearly the better receiver by like a milestone.
