Tyler Lockett's playmaking ability makes him about as dangerous a player there is in the league.

Perhaps the comparison that comes to mind first when thinking about speedy return men in the NFL is Devin Hester, who holds the record for special teams touchdowns with 20.

"Pretty soon they are going to stop kicking to him," head coach Pete Carroll said, via NFL.com, "but we'll figure out a way (to get him the ball)."

Through three weeks, Lockett has returned a 105-yard kickoff -- the longest in Seahawks franchise history, as well as a 57-yard punt.

It's been an impressive start to his career for Lockett, and his play thus far has justified why the Seahawks gave up four draft picks to move up and select him.
