Seattle Seahawks Pick Arkansas' Alex Collins in 5th Round of the NFL Draft

Alex Collins left Fayetteville and is heading to Seattle as a 5th round draft pick of the Seahawks. He was #171 overall.

The Seahawks will have a new backfield with the retirement of Marshawn Lynch. One of Collins' last runs as a Razorback reminded many of Lynch:

Collins was part of a tandem of backs at Arkansas in his first two seasons, but was forced into a team leader role in 2015 after Jonathan Williams went down with an injury.
