6. Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks
Besides Brandin Cooks, Tyler Lockett is the only wide receiver on this list never to make the Pro Bowl for his pass-catching. Technically, Lockett did make the Pro Bowl as a rookie, but that was for his work as a return man. Since then, he’s developed into a legitimate top option for Russell Wilson and Seattle. However, Wilson carries this duo.
Lockett opened the 2019 season on fire. He averaged 85 receiving yards and 6.5 receptions per game through the first nine weeks. However, the former All-Pro return man experienced a severe drop in production beginning in Week 10. He did bounce back with 13 receptions and 198 yards in Seattle’s two playoff games, but the sudden drop off shows Lockett still can’t perform consistently.
In the final seven games of the season, Lockett averaged 41 receiving yards and three receptions per game. Pro Bowl-caliber receivers should never experience such a complete lack of production, especially during the final stretch of a season. However, there’s still plenty of room for Lockett to grow and he’ll continue building his game in the coming seasons.
While Lockett’s late-season drop off hurts this duo’s standing, no one can deny Wilson’s greatness. He’s a top-three quarterback in the NFL right now, and that alone makes this duo worthy of a top ten spot. Despite playing behind one of the worst pass-blocking offensive lines in the league for his entire career, Wilson remains a perennial Pro Bowler and MVP candidate.
