For those of you who missed it, about a month ago I posted a Film Room breakdown of Tyler Lockett which can be checked out here. For this particular article however I wanted to touch on my post combine impressions of Tyler Lockett now that we have a little more clarity on his overall athletic abilities.

The Takeaways

I’ve got to be honest, there were a handful of times on film when I would see Tyler getting tackled from behind and think to myself, “this guy is probably a 4.45 or slower runner” — much to my pleasant surprise though, I was very wrong.  This last Saturday in Indianapolis Tyler Lockett answered a lot of questions about his athleticism. Already considered one of the premier route runners in the class all that was missing were the questions about his long speed and short area quickness. Not that these numbers change what we already knew from watching his film, but they did validate some of the things we were seeing on the screen. So let us take a look at his day at the combine and check out just how he fared.
