As Tyler Lockett gets ready to start his 10th season with the Seattle Seahawks, he would have preferred to be more involved during training camp, especially with a new offensive coordinator.
However, Lockett is used to adapting to new systems, having done so several times in his career, and he actually enjoys learning new strategies.
Lockett mentioned, “It’s been interesting because I think every three years I’ve had a new offensive coordinator, so it’s allowed me to approach the game differently and learn various ways to use my skills effectively.”
Lockett will kick off his 10th season on Sunday, with the Seahawks playing against Denver. He will be one of six players on Seattle’s roster starting their 10th season or beyond.
The game will also feature Seattle’s retro jerseys from the 1990s as they face their old AFC West rival.
Reaching his 10th season is a significant milestone for Lockett, who originally aimed to play at least as long as his father Kevin, who had a seven-year career.
“I’m at the point now where I want to be able to take my game to another level regardless of age, regardless of years,” Lockett said.
Lockett hasn’t been very active during training camp, with limited details about his reduced participation. Seattle coach Mike Macdonald noted during joint practices with Tennessee in August that Lockett was dealing with a minor leg issue but is otherwise doing fine.
