This is a feature in which I track the progress of former Wildcats such as Tyler Lockett and Darren Sproles in the ranks of professional football.

This feature still is restricted to National Football League performances for now due to my time constraints, but expanding it to other professional leagues such as the Canadian Football League and Arena Football remains a future possibility.

Players are ordered by position, but inactive players are listed at the bottom. I hope that helps people to find the performances they're seeking more easily.

Offense

Tyler Lockett

K-Stater from 2011 to 2014

A third-round selection in this year’s draft, Lockett totaled another 100-yard all-purpose game, but it wasn’t enough as Seattle fell last Sunday night at Green Bay, 27-17.

Lockett recorded two catches for 17 yards, returned a pair of punts for 22 yards and four kickoffs for 79 yards.

Lockett’s 271 all-purpose yards through two weeks is tied for sixth in the league, while he ranks fourth with a 22.5-yard kickoff return average among players with five or more returns. The Seahawks were 0-2 before today.
