Tyler Lockett Gets Released by the Seahawks: ‘God Gets All the Glory’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Tyler Lockett spent the last 10 years with the Seattle Seahawks. He was one of the franchise’s best wide outs.
According to Sports Spectrum, Lockett was drafted “in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft out of Kansas State, Lockett ranks second in franchise history behind Hall of Famer Steve Largent in catches (661), receiving yards (8,594) and receiving touchdowns (61).”
Lockett announced the new on his X page and made sure to praise God for his time in Seattle.
“I really enjoyed being in Seattle! I met so many great people and captured so many great memories! The 12’s really make this place meaningful! Although my time on the Seahawks may have run its course, I’m thankful for everything!! God gets all the glory forever!!!!” Lockett wrote.
Lockett grew up in the Seahawks organization and in 2021 he became the “only other receiver in Seahawks history to surpass 1,000 yards in three straight seasons.” The first was Steve Largent from 1983-1986.
“Ultimately, I just thank God for even putting me in this position,” Lockett said after making history, “because there’s sometimes as individuals we want to go out there and we want to have these certain types of games or we want to have these moments where we can look back at our careers and be happy with it, and the things I’ve wanted to happen for myself are nothing compared to what God has been doing in my life.”
“The best stories come when God is able to create the story and tell the story rather than me as an individual trying to tell my own story,” the wide receiver added.

As the Seahawks season came to an end in January, Lockett knew he could have played his final game.
“Maybe this isn’t the end, maybe it is the end,” he said. “But I always will be a Seahawk through and through.”
