Alex Collins stars as one member of the Arkansas Razorbacks two-headed monster at running back, and despite accumulating over 1100 total yards of offense and 12 touchdowns last season, there's reason to believe Collins can improve on those numbers.

How you ask? By slimming down over 10 pounds over the offseason.

According to Whole Hog Sports, Bret Bielema wasn't happy with his star running back after he gained nine pounds over spring break, up to 224-pounds. Bielema expressed his displeasure by listing Collins as co-second-teamer in the spring.
