For the second straight day Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett was honored by the NFL as Thursday he was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for December/January. This came one day after he was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 17.
In the final five games of the regular season Lockett averaged 27.1 yards per kick return and 16.6 yards per punt return. That included his performance in last Sunday’s 36-6 victory at Arizona, when he set a new franchise record for punt-return yardage in a game with 139. In that game he became the first player in NFL history in a decade to have three punt returns of 30 yards or longer in a single contest.
Lockett, a rookie, has spent just four months in the NFL, yet already has two NFC Special Teams Player of the Month awards, as he also earned the honor for September.
