L.J. Collier’s Interview About the 2020 Season Will Get Seahawks Fans Pumped

L.J. Collier was a bit of a surprise first-round pick for the Seattle Seahawks last season. He didn't deliver much as a rookie, making zero starts and missing five games, racking up just 3 combined tackles on the year.

While he didn't get much of an opportunity, playing just 14 percent of the team's snaps, his latest quote will get Seahawks fans hyped.

L.J. Collier said he feels “disrespected” by being written off after his disappointing rookie season. “I’m out there to prove that, that I’m one hell of a football player and I’m going to show that this year.” pic.twitter.com/Kd3OYbeJV0

Seahawks fans will surely be happy to know he's entering the season with that mindset. And Seattle will likely need him to step up in an increased role, with Jadeveon Clowney looking unlikely to return to the team next season.

Over his last three seasons at TCU, Collier put together a combined 20.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks, so he's clearly got some untapped potential. Hopefully he gets to put that on display in 2020.
