Seattle Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett went from breakout year to a broken leg in an instant Saturday, but he’s not letting a season-ending injury alter his positive outlook.

He had surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured tibia and fibula in his right leg but was intent on spreading a positive message both on social media and at the hospital following the successful procedure:

“Thank you to everybody who sent me a text or a snap, and everything. Had a successful surgery.

“No matter what, God is always good, and we’re going to use this situation in my life to make other peoples’ lives better. Stay tuned.”

“You can always make a difference in a person’s life, no matter what. Always let your light shine.”
