Tyler Lockett best comparison?

[ringless]

Clearly John Brown

 

[Tech Worlds]

Galloway?

 

[Tical21]

It's hard. Not many guys really excelled at both returning and receiving. He glides out there too, so he doesn't really compare to Tate or Hester. I guess Tim Brown? Although Brown is thicker.

Antonio Brown.

 

[HawkFan72]

Lockett doesn't play exactly like him, but he is everything that Seattle wanted Percy Harvin to be.

That's tue.

I'm gonna laugh when we run a jet sweep with him on our first possession Sunday.

It's kind of offensive to compare Harvin's skill set to Lockett's polished route running and ball skills. Harvin was also afraid to return punts.

In addition to his skills as a WR and punt returner, Lockett's personality as a teammate and competitor seems to be the total antithesis of Harvin.

Shush you. I do agree with the part about him being what the Seahawks wanted Percy to be and that he's nothing like him beyond some surface similarities.

Reminds me of ...a faster and smaller Optimus Prime.

 

[Trenchbroom]

Reminds me of the good old days with Charlie Rodgers.

Bobby Engram with Charlie Rogers' speed and return skills.

 

[Hawks46]

As a returner he reminds me of Leon Washington. As a receiver I think Brandin Cooks is a fair comparison.

It's like you reached into my head and stole the one thought I had there. :thirishdrinkers:

I also like the comparisons to Antonio Brown. I see the same suddenness in and out of breaks. They're also both very quick, although Brown is probably not as fast in a straight line.

 

[Pandion Haliaetus]

My best comparison I thought of him was in a NFL Nation thread, I said Lockett was going to be special.

Special like a poorman's 2002/2003 Dante Hall meets a poorman's Antonio Brown.

And that every game Lockett only continues to get richer.

 

[pmedic920]

As much as I hate to abbreviate it, he reminds me of PH.
In nothing except on the field stuff.

 

[Fade]

When he was drafted. I said Doug Baldwin with a tick more speed. While scoffing at the people who said Antonio Brown. I'm still not there yet on the Antonio Brown band wagon, but I'm no longer scoffing.

RANDALL COBB is who he can be in this offense.

Now that I have seen him in the preseason, I want him lining up everywhere. outside, in the slot, jet sweep, fly sweep, in the backfield. I would start him over Kearse as well.

He can be what Percy was supposed to be for the offense and more because of his savvy route running.
