With a combine invite already I imagine I'll see him on The Ultimate Road Trip (Shrine, Senior, NFLPA Game). I doubt he's in Mobile but I may get to see him practice in Orlando or San Antonio.

Lockette's game is all about speed. He was recruited by many SEC schools coming out of high school and almost went to Auburn. Lockette bounced around during his college career, but his size and soft hands has attracted the attention of scouts.

6'3" 200-205 lbs.

Let me just pencil him in on my players to watch this offseason.

Thanks for the heads up.

Is this guy going to do anything this year or what?

That’s Lockette, as in rocket

By Clare Farnsworth

Seeing Ricardo Lockette flash across the practice field once training camp finally started last summer, it didn’t take long for his new teammates to give the rookie wide receiver the obvious nickname.

“They’re calling him ‘Lockette the Rocket,’ ” Kris Durham, another rookie wide-out, said at the time. “He’s amazing. That guy’s got a lot of speed.”

Speed always has been Lockette’s game. But during today’s OTA practice, the player too often miscast as a one trick pony showed there’s more to him than the ability to blaze.

On one play, Lockette made a nice in-stride adjustment to catch a pass that was a little behind him and a little high. A few plays later, Lockette when over the defender and again reach back to snag another pass.

Later, however, Lockette also displayed the part of his game that remains a work in progress – consistency – as he dropped a pass that required no contortions to catch.

As the players were heading to the locker room after the session in the indoor practice facility, a teammate congratulated Lockette on his catches. Without hesitation, Lockette offered, “But I’ve got to catch them all.”

The final week of the team’s OTA practices continues on Tuesday, and there also will be sessions on Wednesday and Thursday.

3 A Look into the Unknown: The 2012 Seattle Seahawks Wide Receivers

Excerpt:

And the final spot…the last man standing? I have to say, all my hopes and dreams lie with this guy. Ok, maybe an overstatement, but I can’t help but acknowledge the bromance that I have with a Mr. Ricardo Lockette. As one teammate dubbed, “Baby T.O.”. Let’s hope so, but without the attitude. From what we’ve seen in his interviews, and his demeanor on and off the field, he’s a far stretch from that. What he has shown is the ability to make All-Pro Corners look like JV squad players, as his gaudy 2 catches for 105 yards and 1 TD show. All in 2 weeks of PT mind you 12th Man. While it may be too soon to start a Rockette Fan Club, I’m definitely putting him on the 53 man roster come Game Day. I can just hear it now, my buddies are all saying…”Remember Peter Warrick? You liked him too…”

I like this guy. A good player to grab on waivers if he is available.

 

[Fly]

Stashed him at the end of last year. Really like the guy. Just hope he can do in games what he does in practices.

 

[Sea Duck]

Cut today.
