Fantastic early build, especially one that suits LB/TE well. Love the alignment versatility shown off on tape. One rep you can see Collins working as a traditional OLB in a 3-4 front, next you can see Collins being split out to work in space in more traditional 4-3 looks. As his stats suggest, Collins can drop into curl/flat zones and be a big/disruptive obstacle for QBs. His athletic prowess puts him ahead of several other talented yet one-dimensional backers. Is a missile to the football when he keys and reacts. Will win the majority of his 1v1s in space, breaks down well and understands when to knife/barrel or when to square up and drive. A fantastic sophomore year to build off of. I’ll do what I can to spread his name a bit.
