ITI: Who are the guys that may not get the national attention that Eagles fans should know and be worried about?

12th Man Rising: Tyler Lockett is a very special player on special teams. He’s just rounding back into form after breaking his leg in week 16 of last season. He had a spectacular game against the Atlanta Falcons two weeks ago when he returned five kickoffs for a total of 197 yards.

He’s a dangerous third wideout as well. Eagles fans know about Doug Baldwin, of course, but they probably didn’t realize he’s third in touchdown catches behind wide receiver Paul Richardson. Richardson has always made the spectacular play, but this season is making a lot more of the routine catches as well. It’s hard to find a relative unknown on Seattle’s defense, but I’ll go with Justin Coleman. He’ll be tested plenty, but Pro Football Focus grades him just behind Richard Sherman.
