Expect bigger and better things from Seahawks L.J. Collier in 2021
The Seattle Seahawks selected L.J. Collier in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft out of TCU but the defensive end spent much of his first year in the big leagues on the bench, sidelined by an ankle injury he suffered in training camp.
Collier felt he had much to prove during his sophomore campaign.
“I was playing catch up on my rookie year,” Collier told the crew at Good Morning Football on Wednesday. “It was really frustrating, but I’m a competitor man. A lot of people tried to count me out . . . but I wasn’t really worried about it.”
2020 was a totally different season for Collier, who racked up 21 combined tackles, three sacks, and two passes defended on the year. He sees even bigger and better things ahead in 2021.
“I knew what I could do with a healthy body and given a good chance,” he continued. “So I went out there and proved that this year. I didn’t even scratch the surface on what I know I can do.
“Year three I’m really going crazy.”
