With Collier signed, Seattle now has nine of its 11 draft picks from this year under contract. Second-round pick DK Metcalf, a wide receiver out of Ole Miss, and third-round selection Cody Barton, a linebacker from Utah, remain unsigned. Metcalf and Barton, however, are still allowed to participate in the team's offseason workouts, and following Day 2 of OTAs, Carroll said Collier, Metcalf, Barton and the rest of Seattle's 2019 rookie class are making an early statement this offseason.

"I'm pumped about this group, man," Carroll said Tuesday when asked about the rookies getting a chance to go against the veterans during OTAs. "I just have been. Their minds are in the right place. They're really focused on studying and learning. They feel the responsibility of catching up. You know, they're asking questions, they're staying late, they're coming around and doing everything they can to make sure that they're doing their part. Plus, there's some talent out here that's obvious it's going to add to the competition of all the different spots. Everybody that's had the opportunity has made a good statement about where they know they're going for it. And it's really exciting for us."

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who also spoke with the media following Tuesday's OTAs, echoed his head coach's sentiment when it comes to what he's seen so far from Seattle's newest players.
