Three Seahawks at their third straight Super Bowl

PHOENIX -- The Seattle Seahawks have three players who are going to their third consecutive Super Bowl -- fullback Will Tukuafu, wide receiver Ricardo Lockette and defensive lineman Demarcus Dobbs.

All three were part of the San Francisco 49ers organization in 2012, but Tukuafu was the only one who played in the Super Bowl that the 49ers lost to the Baltimore Ravens. Tukuafu said he played fullback, defensive end and special team in that game, the same as he does now for the Seahawks.

Lockette was on the practice squad and Dobbs was on injured reserve (IR) after suffering a knee injury in December of that season.

Along with his duties now on punt and kick coverage, Lockette likely will have significant playing time on offense Sunday because of Paul Richardson being on IR.

Lockette says feels he has come a long way from his days at little Fort Valley State in Albany, Georgia.

“It is the opportunity to show that anything is possible,’’ Lockette said. “I think a lot of people say things like, ‘Oh, I am doing this for my family or my hometown.’ That is really what it is about for me. So many kids and families watching from lower-class families and they know me personally. They watched me grow up.

“To go from a Division II school and going undrafted into a possibility of winning two Super Bowl rings in three Super Bowls and three NFC championships, it’s an inspiration to them. I want to be an example for them.”
