Former Albany State's/S.F. 49'ers Lockette expects big plays with teammate/roommate QB Kaepernick

Ricardo Lockette
San Francisco, California -- Monroe High grad Ricardo Lockette is competing for the starting receiver job with the San Francisco 49ers. What helps his chances is his relationship with quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is also his roommate.

"Without a doubt," Lockette said. "If I'm on the field and he's at quarterback and its a ball that needs to be thrown. Most likely its going to come my way ... We look forward to a couple big plays this year,"

Lockette chances to make an impact on last year's Super Bowl loser increased once Michael Crabtree went down with a torn Achilles. While he fully intends to compete for the starting role, he also understands that there is a limit he can push his body in camp to get it.
