Coming off his fourth-consecutive 1,000-yard season, Seattle’s back-to-back Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee is helping those dealing with heart conditions in an artistic way. Driving the Healthy Heart Fundraiser is Lockett’s aptly-designed motivational shirt with a special message.
“The Heart of a Champion Begins in the Mind” lays across the chest of the shirt above Lockett, in Seattle’s signature college navy and action green.

Whether on or off the field, Lockett continues to inspire others with his perseverance through all obstacles. Now, he wants his collaborative T-shirt with the Center for Cardiovascular Health to inspire those towards being proactive with their health.
