Ricardo Lockette arrived in the NFL with zero fanfare, just another undrafted free agent with a specific skill who was being given a chance. The turnout spoke to the lasting impact Lockette had in Seattle - a story that can't be told through statistics - before retiring because of a severe neck injury suffered last season in a game against Dallas. ''My teammates helped me to be who I was and we inspire each other and we became a family,'' Lockette said.
