"Lockett is just one of the best people I've ever met," Seahawks left tackle Duane Brown said. "To have someone like him in our locker room I think has helped us tremendously. Obviously, people see the kind of player he is, but the conversations that you have with him, seeing the work he does in the community, he's all about positivity. The message he sends is nonstop positivity and just giving you different insights on how to view life in certain situations. He actually gave us a message before last week's game, that Saturday night, I think that really opened a lot of guys' eyes and really helped us in our efforts on Sunday. I'm very, very happy for him, and he's definitely deserving of (the Walter Payton Award nomination)."
