The Facts: During a team drill at minicamp earlier this month, Lockett lined up on the right side of the field, opposite CB Richard Sherman. When the ball was snapped, Lockett raced down the right sideline, got on top of the coverage and looked up just as Russell Wilson's pass was about to hit him in stride for a touchdown. The pair has been working together for much of the offseason and the result could be a big bump in Lockett's 13.02 yards-per-reception average. "He's a legit player for us, and he's right in the middle of all our planning and all of our preparation," HC Pete Carroll said of Lockett. "You have to deal with him in our offense."

Diehards Line: By just about any statistical measure, his rookie season was a success. Lockett caught 51 balls for 664 yards and six touchdowns. He found the end zone two more times as a returner and earned a Pro Bowl berth. But according to ESPN.com's Sheil Kapadia, Lockett's film was even more impressive than his numbers. He got open consistently, and there were several occasions where Lockett and Wilson just barely missed on explosive plays. Matt Harmon put together a terrific breakdown of Lockett's rookie season, and in the eight games he studied, go routes made up 22.9 percent of Lockett's route tree. He was getting behind the defense, and Wilson was looking his way. The timing was just a little bit off. Now that it sounds like that's being addressed, Tyler becomes of greater interest.
