SEATTLE — Seattle Seahawks’ wide receiver and returner Tyler Lockett put smiles on some faces Thursday at Virginia Mason Cancer Institute.

Lockett spent time listening to patients’ stories and even telling some of his own.

He signed a couple of jerseys and posed for photos.

That time he spent with patients will no doubt create some long-lasting memories, and some loyal and die-hard fans.

Doctors, nurses and other care providers were cheered on by Lockett for the work they do.
