Veteran NFL wide receiver Tyler Lockett is looking forward to his matchup with quarterback Russell Wilson when the Seattle Seahawks open their season against the Denver Broncos on Monday night, and as far as he’s concerned, he’s rooting for Wilson’s success.

Wilson will return to Lumen Field for the first time in 10 seasons wearing a different uniform after being traded to the Broncos back in March as a part of a blockbuster deal that saw the Seahawks acquire two first-round picks, two second-rounders, tight end Noah Fant, defensive end Shelby Harris and quarterback Drew Lock.

Fans will no doubt have mixed feelings about his return, but Lockett is looking forward to the moment he gets to meet with the quarterback he played alongside with for the last seven seasons.

"I have no idea because I can't control what anybody else says or what anybody else does," Lockett said Tuesday via ESPN of how the crowd will respond. "But I know that when I see him, I'll go give him a hug, talk to him ... wish him good luck not only in this game but for the rest of this season and for the rest of his career as we continue to talk outside of football and stuff like that. But Russ has done so much for this community."
