The estimated population of Munday, Texas, the hometown of Seahawks’ first-round pick L.J. Collier, is estimated at 1,324.
It’s possible Collier has heard from every single one in the eight days since his selection by the Seahawks.
“I mean everybody is just really proud of me,’’ Collier, who played at TCU, said Friday after the first day of the Seahawks’ rookie mini-camp. “Everybody is going crazy. Seeing all types of stuff on Facebook. Everybody is just still overwhelmed.’’
Asked who he’s heard from, Collier said some teachers and then laughed and added “maybe some cousins I didn’t really know, that type of thing.
