There are always intriguing prospects in any draft class. But it’s been some time since we have had a prospect quite as intriguing — interesting — as linebacker Zaven Collins out of Tulsa.
A year ago you could be forgiven if you had no clue who Collins was. But after a 2020 season which saw him rack up 54 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, 4.0 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 passes defensed, and 4 interceptions — in just 8 games — on the way to winning the 2020 Bronko Nagurski and Chuck Bednarik awards as the nation’s best defensive player, Collins is on everyone’s radar.
