Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is one of the players who will need to step up into a leadership role this year. In the absence of Russell Wilson and Duane Brown, we believe he is the best candidate to take over as the team’s new offensive captain in 2022.
Lockett has been in the league for eight years now and has always conducted himself with the utmost humility and respect, in addition to being an incredibly underrated receiver. Whether or not he is named offensive captain remains to be seen, but Lockett is already taking the lead on something that’s far more important than football: mental health awareness.
Yesterday on Twitter Lockett shared a moving thread of messages detailing his battle with anxiety and depression since he entered the NFL.
