Lockette did a lot of charity work for years even after that play, often for nothing.
Every time I met him, he was a good guy.
People have had to make tough choices the past few years, sometimes not always good ones. So I get it.
But blaming him for that play is idiotic. If you do that, then blame Carrol for cutting Browner so that NE could sign him. That was a much more grossly stupid move than whatever Lockette did or didn't do in what happened with that play.
Or hell, just blame him for not running Lynch and not needing to count on your 15th string WR in the first place....like basically the entire NFL did after that play. Lockette has a sliver of blame, maybe. But nothing compared to the people that made that stupid play possible.
