Tyler Lockett is pretty good at this whole returning kicks thing.

Here’s how he responded to that challenge:
Yep, that’s right. Lockett scored a 57-yard touchdown Sunday on his first-ever regular season punt return.
The third-round draft pick out of Kansas State also made a bit of team history, as the Seahawks hadn’t had a player take a punt to the house since Nate Burleson (remember him?) did it back in 2007.
