Next Gen Stats: Lockett soon to get Hester treatment

With another touchdown in Week 3, Seattle Seahawks rookie Tyler Lockett is leading the NFL in kick-return yardage after capturing mythical preseason MVP honors in August. Lockett has been so dynamic on returns that coach Pete Carroll expects opponents to start giving him the Devin Hester treatment. "Pretty soon they are going to stop kicking to him," Carroll said Monday, "but we'll figure out a way (to get him the ball)."

The two-time Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year blazed a 4.40 40 time at the NFL Scouting Combine. Next Gen Stats captured that explosiveness on Lockett's 105-yard touchdown, as his 21.3 mph speed was behind only Redskins returner Rashad Ross' 21.5 mph on Week 3 scoring plays. Beyond the pure speed, Lockett makes defenders miss with smooth, sharp cuts and uncanny vision that allows him to calculate the quickest route to open prairie land. Hester is the most successful kick-return specialist in NFL history. While it's premature to put Lockett in his class, the Seahawks deserve credit for identifying his rare playmaking ability and trading four draft picks to select him in the third round.
