SEATTLE – Former Seahawk Ricardo Lockette isn’t letting his career-ending injury keep him sidelined.

After a neck injury in 2015, spinal cord research has become his passion.

He’s an ambassador for the Seattle Science Foundation and its ground-breaking work in developing a 3-D map of the spinal cord…

Lockette tells state lawmakers it’ll give doctors a roadmap of where to place stem cells that someday could overcome paralysis.

Researchers with the Foundation believe they’ll have the 3-D map of the spinal cord completed within the next decade.
