"Arguably the top wideout in the conference, Lockett doesn't look like much, but he runs like the wind with sudden footwork in his breaks to create separation before, during and after the catch. He is a smaller target with a limited overall catching radius and smaller hands that will lead to double catches and him fighting the ball at times. However, Lockett is very dangerous in space, using his quick, decisive feet to sell routes and speed to stretch the field and take the top off a defense." - Dan Brugler, CBSSports.com

 "Lockett's NFL prospects will be limited by his size. A few costly drops here and there won't help either -- against Auburn, he turned a touchdown into an interception by failing to corral the football. Out of the slot and especially in the return game, though, Lockett has enough juice to impress an NFL team. He may not be Devin Hester, but the overall package is similar." - Chris Burk, Sports Illustrated
