Seahawks special-teams leader a true ‘Thorpedo’ | The News Tribune

It is an anniversary that still grabs every Seahawks player who was there.

The last time Seattle visited Dallas was early November of 2015. In the first half of the Seahawks’ 13-12 win, wide receiver Ricardo Lockette. who also served as the team’s gunner on the punt coverage team, raced down the field at full speed to make a tackle.

As he ran, he was leveled on a blind-side block by Cowboys safety Jeff Heath, and laid motionless on the turf for several minutes before being taken away on a stretcher. He has suffered a neck injury that not only ended his career, but threatened his life.
